Context of Isaiah 63:14

12He caused his power to be with Moses, as Moses raised his arm over the sea. He caused the waters to become separate so that his people could go across. In that way, he caused his name always to be famous. 13He led them through the deep water of the sea. They ran across like horses on open ground, and they did not fall. The Lord's Spirit led them to a place of rest, like cows that go down to a quiet valley.’ Yes, Lord, you were your people's guide. In that way, you made your name great. 15So now, do something to help us! Look down from your beautiful, holy home in heaven. Use your power to show that we are your special people. Have you forgotten how to be kind to us? 16Remember that you are our Father. Maybe our ancestor Abraham does not recognize us. Even Israel himself may not recognize us. But you, Lord, are our Father. Since times long ago, your name has been our Redeemer.
