25 To whom then will you compare me,
that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
ahis understanding is unsearchable.
9 remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 adeclaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also with him who is of a dcontrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
11 Then he remembered the days of old,
of Moses and his people.1
Where is he who brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is he who put in the midst of them
his Holy Spirit,
12 who caused his glorious arm
to go at the right hand of Moses,
lwho divided the waters before them
to make for himself an everlasting name,
13 who mled them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
they did not stumble.
14 Like livestock that go down into the valley,
the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
So you led your people,
to make for yourself a glorious name.
Prayer for Mercy
15 nLook down from heaven and see,
from your holy and beautiful2 habitation.
Where are your zeal and your might?
The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
are held back from me.
16 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.
