God the Father

15 Look down from heaven, and see
    from your holy and glorious dwelling.
Where are your zeal and your might?
    Where are the yearning of your heart and your compassion?
        They are held back from me.

16 But you are our Father,
    even[a] Abraham does not know us
        and Israel has not acknowledged[b] us;
you are he,[c] O Lord, our Father,
    from long ago, ‘Our Redeemer’ is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander[d] from your ways
    and harden our hearts, so that we do not fear you?
Turn back for the sake of your servants,
    for the sake of the tribes that are your heritage.
