13 Isaiah 63:5-64:0
5And I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered, and there was no one to uphold; therefore my own arm saved me and my fury upheld me.
6And I have trampled down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my fury, and I have brought down their strength to the land.
7I will mention the lovingkindnesses of Yahvah and the praises of Yahvah for all the things that Yahvah has bestowed on us and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on us according to his mercies and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
8For he said, Surely they are my people, sons that will not lie; so he became their savior.
9In all their troubles he did not afflict them, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he saved them and he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10But they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit; therefore he turned to be their enemy and he fought against them.
11Then he remembered the days of old, of Moses his servant. Just as when he brought up out of the sea the shepherd of his flock, and as he put his holy spirit inside Moses,
12who led them by his right hand and by his glorious arm, dividing the waters before them and making for them an everlasting name
13and leading them through the deep, as a horse is led in the wilderness, and they did not stumble,
14and like cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of Yahvah leading them; so you lead your people and make for yourself a glorious name.
15Look down from the skies and look from your holy and glorious habitation. Where is your zeal and your strength? Turn your tender mercies and compassion toward us. Are they restrained?
16For you are our father, though Abraham did not know us and Israel did not acknowledge us; you, Yahvah, are our father, and our savior; your name is from everlasting.
17Yahvah, why have you made us err from your way and hardened our heart so as not to reverence you? Return, for your servants' sake, the tribes of your heritage.
18The people of your holiness have possessed the land but a little while; our oppressors have trampled down your sanctuary.
19We are yours from of old before you ruled over them; they were not called by your name.
