14 As cattle are led into a fertile valley, so the Lord gave his people rest. He led his people and brought honor to his name.

A Prayer for Mercy and Help

15 Lord, look upon us from heaven, where you live in your holiness and glory. Where is your great concern for us? Where is your power? Where are your love and compassion? Do not ignore us. 16 You are our father. Our ancestors Abraham and Jacob do not acknowledge us, but you, Lord, are our father, the one who has always rescued us.

14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest(A) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

15 Look down from heaven(B) and see,
    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.
