I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

Israel's penitential confession and prayer for restoration (; ), extending from this verse to the end of Isaiah 64:1.

Loving-kindnesses ... the praises ... according to his mercies ... to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses

- the plurals and the repetitions imply that language is inadequate to express the full extent of God's goodness.

According to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us - the dispersed Jews, at the time just preceding their final restoration.

And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them - in all ages. God has been good not merely to the Jews now dispersed, but to Israel in every age of its history.
