Isaiah 63:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 Like cattle descending into a valley,
the Spirit of the Lord afforded them rest.
15 Look down from heaven and see,
from your holy and glorious dwelling.
Where are your zeal and your might,
your compassion and your tender mercy?
Do not withhold them from me.
16 For you are our Father.
Although Abraham does not know us
and Israel[a] does not acknowledge us,
you, O Lord, are our Father;
forever you have been called our Redeemer.
