As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name (63:14) Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? (63:15) Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, [art] our father, our redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting (63:16) O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, [and] hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance (63:17) The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary (63:18) We are [thine]: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name
(63:19)
