Prayer for Mercy and Help
Oh, that You would tear open the heavens and acome down,That the mountains might bquake at Your presence—2 As sure as fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—To make Your name known to Your adversaries,That the anations may tremble at Your presence!3 When You did aawesome and amazing things which we did not expect,You came down at Sinai; the mountains quaked at Your presence.4 For from days of old no aone has heard, nor has ear perceived,Nor has the eye 1seen a God besides You,Who works and acts in behalf of the one who gladly bwaits for Him.5 You ameet him who rejoices in doing bthat which is morally right,Who cremembers You in Your ways.Indeed, dYou were angry, for we sinned;We have long continued in our sins prolonging Your anger.And shall we be saved under such circumstances?6 For we all have become like one who is ceremonially aunclean like a leper,And all our deeds of brighteousness are like filthy rags;We all cwither and decay like a leaf,And our dwickedness our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing, like the wind, takes us away carrying us far from God’s favor, toward destruction. Lev 13:45, 467 There is ano one who calls on Your name,Who awakens and causes himself to take hold of You;For You have bhidden Your face from usAnd have handed us over to the consuming and destructive power of our wickedness our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing. Rom 1:21-24
8 Yet, O LORD, aYou are our Father;We are the bclay, and You our Potter,And we all are the cwork of Your hand.9 Do not be aangry beyond measure, O LORD,bDo not remember our wickedness our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing forever.Now look, consider, for we are all cYour people.10 1Your aholy cities have become a bwilderness,Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.11 Our holy and beautiful ahouse the temple built by Solomon,Where our fathers praised You,Has been burned by fire;And ball our precious objects are in ruins.12 Considering these tragedies, will You arestrain Yourself, O LORD and not help us?Will You keep silent and humiliate and oppress us beyond measure?
