1 in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
God’s Mercy Remembered7 remembered the days of old,
of Moses his servant.
Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is the one who put within them
his holy spirit,
12 Ex 14.21; 15.6; Isa 50.10, 11 who caused his glorious arm
to march at the right hand of Moses,
who divided the waters before them
to make for himself an everlasting name,
13 Ps 106.9 who led them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
they did not stumble.
14 Deut 32.12 Like cattle that go down into the valley,
the spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
Thus you led your people,
to make for yourself a glorious name.
A Prayer of Penitence15 Deut 26.15; Ps 80.14; Jer 31.20; Hos 11.8 Look down from heaven and see,
from your holy and glorious habitation.
Where are your zeal and your might?
Your great pity and your compassion are withheld from me.
16 Isa 44.6; 51.2; 60.16; 64.8 For you are our father,
though Abraham does not know us
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our father;
our Redeemer from of old is your name.
17 Num 10.36; Isa 29.13, 14; Ezek 14.7–9 Why, O Lord, do you let us stray from your ways
and let our heart harden, so that we do not fear you?
Turn back for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your heritage.
18 Deut 7.6; Ps 74.3–7 Your holy people took possession for a little while,
but now our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
19 Lam 3.43–45 We have long been like those whom you do not rule,
like those not called by your name.
