Bible verse
For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
Isaiah 63:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 63.
14 Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
16 Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
18 For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
