14 like cattle in the valley that goes down, the Spirit of Yahweh gave him rest,[a]
    so you lead your people to make a magnificent name for yourself.

Prayer for Mercy

15 Look from heaven,
    and see from the lofty residence of your holiness and glory.
Where are your zeal and strength?
    Your compassion[b] and mercy to me hold themselves back.
16 For you are our father, although Abraham does not know us,
    and Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, Yahweh are our father,
    Our Redeemer from of old is your name.

    from your lofty throne,(C) holy and glorious.
