14 As the cattle which go down into the valley,
    the Spirit of the Lord caused them to rest,
so You led Your people,
    to make Yourself a glorious name.

A Prayer of Penitence

15 Look down from heaven and see,
    from Your holy and glorious habitation.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength?
    The stirrings of Your heart and Your mercies toward me are restrained.
16 For You are our Father,
    though Abraham is ignorant of us
    and Israel does not recognize us.
You, O Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer;
    Your name is from everlasting.

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.
