Context of Isaiah 63:13
11Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy spirit in the midst of them? 12that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? that led them through the depths, as an horse in the wilderness, that they stumbled not? 14As the cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the LORD caused them to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. 15Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy bowels and thy compassions are restrained toward me.
