A Chastened Piety
Isaiah 63:7
I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us…


The passage (Isaiah 63:7-64:12) is one of the most instructive of Old Testament prayers, and deserves careful study as an expression of the chastened and tremulous type of piety begotten in the sorrows of the Exile. So far as the ideas of the passage are concerned, it might have been composed at any time from the Exile downwards.

(Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)
