¹Oh, that You would rend the heavens and ^acome down,That the mountains might ^bquake at Your presence—2 ¹As 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 things for which we did not hope,You came down; the mountains quaked at Your presence.4 For from ancient times ^athey have not heard or given ear,Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,Who acts in behalf of the one who ^bwaits for Him.5 You ^ameet him who rejoices and ^bdoes righteousness,Who ^cremembers You in Your ways.Behold, ^dYou were angry; indeed we have sinned—We continued in them a long time—And shall we be saved?6 For all of us have become like one who is ^aunclean,And all our ^brighteous deeds are like a filthy garment;And all of us ^cwither like a leaf,And our ^diniquities, like the wind, carry us away.7 There is ^ano one who calls on Your name,Who awakens himself to take hold of You,For You have ^bhidden Your face from usAnd have ¹melted us into the hand of our iniquities.

8 But now, O Yahweh, ^aYou are our Father;We are the ^bclay, and You our potter;And all of us are the ^cwork of Your hand.9 Do not be ^aangry beyond measure, O Yahweh,^bNor remember iniquity forever;Behold, look now, all of us are ^cYour people.10 Your ^aholy cities have become a ^bwilderness;Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.11 Our holy and glorious ^ahouse,Where our fathers praised You,Has been burned by fire;And ^ball our precious things have become a waste place.12 Will You ^arestrain Yourself at these things, O Yahweh?Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

¹Oh, that You would tear open the heavens and ^acome down,That the mountains would ^bquake at Your presence—2 ¹As fire kindles 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 things which we did not expect,You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.4 For from days of old ^athey have not heard or perceived by ear,Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,Who acts in behalf of one who ^bwaits for Him.5 You ^ameet him who rejoices in ^bdoing righteousness,Who ^cremembers You in Your ways.Behold, ^dYou were angry, for we sinned,We continued in ¹our sins for a long time;Yet shall we be saved?6 For all of us have become like one who is ^aunclean,And all our ^brighteous deeds are like a filthy garment;And all of us ^cwither like a leaf,And our ^dwrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.7 There is ^ano one who calls on Your name,Who stirs himself to take hold of You;For You have ^bhidden Your face from usAnd have ¹surrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.

8 But now, LORD, ^aYou are our Father;We are the ^bclay, and You our potter,And all of us are the ^cwork of Your hand.9 Do not be ^aangry beyond measure, LORD,^bNor remember wrongdoing forever.Behold, please look, all of us are ^cYour people.10 Your ^aholy cities have become a ^bwilderness,Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.11 Our holy and beautiful ^ahouse,Where our fathers praised You,Has been burned by fire;And ^ball our precious things have become a ruin.12 Will You ^arestrain Yourself at these things, LORD?Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
