Isaiah 63:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Why, O Lord, do you make us stray from your ways
    and harden our heart, so that we do not fear you?
Turn back for the sake of your servants,
    for the sake of the tribes that are your heritage.
¹⁸ Your holy people took possession for a little while;
    but now our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
¹⁹ We have long been like those whom you do not rule,
    like those not called by your name.
