¹⁶ But you are our Father,^(A)
    though Abraham does not know us
    or Israel acknowledge^(B) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
    our Redeemer^(C) from of old is your name.
¹⁷ Why, Lord, do you make us wander^(D) from your ways
    and harden our hearts^(E) so we do not revere^(F) you?
Return^(G) for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes that are your inheritance.^(H)
18 For a little while^(I) your people possessed your holy place,
    but now our enemies have trampled^(J) down your sanctuary.^(K)
19 We are yours from of old;
    but you have not ruled over them,
    they have not been called^[a] by your name.^(L)
