Lookdown from heaven and see from Your holy and glorioushabitation; Where are Your zeal and Your mightydeeds? The stirrings of Your heart and Your compassion are restrainedtoward me.

For You are our Father, thoughAbraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O LORD, are our Father, Our Redeemer from of old is Your name.

Why, O LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways And harden our heart from fearing You? Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
