Isaiah 63:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷ Why, O Lord, do You ^(A)cause us to stray from Your ways
And ^(B)harden our heart from fearing You?
^(C)Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
¹⁸ Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while,
Our adversaries have ^(D)trodden it down.
¹⁹ We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,
Like those who were not called by Your name.
