1O that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains might quake at your presence -
2as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil -
to make your name known to your adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides you,
who works for those who wait for him.
4You meet him that joyfully works righteousness,
those that remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time,
and shall we be saved?
5You meet him that joyfully works righteousness,
those that remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time,
and shall we be saved?
6There is no one that calls upon your name,
that bestirs himself to take hold of you;
for you have hid your face from us,
and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquities.
7There is no one that calls upon your name,
that bestirs himself to take hold of you;
for you have hid your face from us,
and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquities.
8Yet, O Yahweh, you are our father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are the work of your hand.
9Be not exceedingly angry, O Yahweh,
and remember not iniquity for ever.
Behold, consider, we are all your people.
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and beautiful house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Yahweh?
Wilt you keep silent, and afflict us sorely?
