14 Like cattle that go down to the valley,
    the Spirit of the Lord gave ·the people a place to rest [them rest].
Lord, that is the way you led your people,
    and by this you ·won [made] for yourself ·wonderful fame [a glorious reputation/name].

A Prayer for Help

15 Lord, look down from the heavens and see;
    look at us from your ·wonderful [glorious] and holy ·home [abode] in heaven.
Where is your ·strong love [zeal] and power?
    Why are you ·keeping [holding back] your ·love [tenderness] and ·mercy [compassion] from us?
16 You are our father.
    [L …though] Abraham doesn’t know ·we are his children [L us],
    and Israel doesn’t recognize us.
Lord, you are our father.
    ·You are called [or Your name is] “·the one who has always saved us [our redeemer from of old].”

14 like cattle that go down to the plain,

    from your lofty throne,(C) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(D) and your might?
    Your tenderness and compassion(E) are withheld(F) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(G)
    though Abraham does not know us
    or Israel acknowledge(H) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
    our Redeemer(I) from of old is your name.
