Isaiah 63:11-16

Then they remembered God’s deeds in days past, the days of Moses and his people. And they asked: “Where now is YAHWEH, who brought them miraculously through the Red Sea along with Moses, the shepherd-leader of his flock, and put his Holy Spirit among them? Where now is the one who linked his magnificent power to Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain everlasting fame for himself? Who led them through the depths of the sea? They were as sure-footed as horses on dry, level ground— they did not stumble. As a herder leads his cattle to find rest in a fertile valley, the Spirit of YAHWEH led them into rest. In the same way, you led your people to win for yourself a glorious name!” Lord, look down from heaven, from your holy, glorious dwelling place, and see us. What happened to your passion for us and your mighty acts of power? Why are you withholding from us your feelings of tender compassion? For you are our loving Father. Even if our ancestors, Abraham and Jacob, don’t acknowledge us, you, O  YAHWEH, are our loving Father! From ancient times your name is our Redeemer.
