15 Look down from the heavens, and see from the residence of your holiness and of your adornment. Where is your zeal and your might? - the roar of your inwards and of your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?
16 Assuredly you are our father; though Abraham knew us not and Yisra El acknowledged us not: you, O Yah Veh, are our father, our redeemer; your name is from eternity.
17 O Yah Veh, why stray us from your ways? Harden our heart from your awe? For sake of your servant, return the scions of your inheritance.
18 The people of your holiness possessed but a little while: our tribulators trampled your holies.
19 We are yours: you neither reigned over them eternally; nor were they called by your name.

A PRAYER FOR MERCY
Oh that you rip the heavens; that you descend; that the mountains quake at your face 2 - as the brush fire kindles - as the fire boils the waters; to make your name known to your tribulators to quiver the goyim at your face! 3 When you worked awesomenesses which we awaited not, you descended: the mountains quaked at your face. 4 Even since eternity it was neither heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor seen by the eye, O Elohim, beside you, what he worked for him who awaits him. 1 Corinthians 2:9,10 5 You meet him who rejoices and works justness - who remembers you in your ways: behold, you enrage when we sin: in them is eternity and we are saved. 6 And we are all as foul - all of us and all our justnesses as menstrual clothes: and we wither as a leaf - all of us and our perversities, as the wind, bear us away: 7 and no one calls on your name - wakens himself to take hold of you: for you hide your face from us, and melt us by the hand of our perversities. 8 And now, O Yah Veh, you are our father; we are the morter, and you our Former; and we all are the work of your hand. 9 Neither enrage not mightily, O Yah Veh, nor remember our perversity eternally: behold, look, we beseech you, - your people - all of us. 10 Your holy cities are a wilderness: Siyon is a wilderness; Yeru Shalem a desolation: 11 our holies of adornment where our fathers halaled you, are burned with fire: and all our desirables are parched. 12 Refrain you yourself for these, O Yah Veh? You hush, and humble us mightily.
