^(C1)Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious ^(C2)lofty habitation; Where are Your ^(C3)zeal and Your mighty deeds? The ^(C4)stirrings of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained toward me.

For You are our ^(C1)Father, though ^(C2)Abraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, LORD, are our Father, Our ^(C3)Redeemer from ancient times is Your name.

Why, LORD, do You ^(C1)cause us to stray from Your ways And ^(C2)harden our heart from fearing You? ^(C3)Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while, Our adversaries have ^(C1)trampled it down.

We have become like those over whom You have never ruled, Like those who were not called by Your name.
