64Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!H3863H7167H8064H3381H2022H2151H64402As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!H2003H784H6919H784H4325H1158H8034H3045H6862H1471H7264H64403For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.H6213H3372H6960H3381H2022H2151H64404Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.H5769H8085H238H5869H7200H430H2108H6213H24425You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry. How then can we be saved?H6293H7797H6213H6664H2142H1870H7107H2398H5769H34676All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.H2931H6666H5708H899H5034H1101H5929H5771H7307H53757No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to our sins.H7121H8034H5782H2388H5641H6440H4127H3027H57718Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.H3068H1H2563H3335H4639H30279Do not be angry beyond measure, LORD; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.H7107H3966H3068H2142H5771H5703H5027H597110Your sacred cities have become a wasteland; even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.H6944H5892H4057H6726H4057H3389H807711Our holy and glorious temple, where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire, and all that we treasured lies in ruins.H6944H8597H1004H1H1984H8316H784H4261H272312After all this, LORD, will you hold yourself back? Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?H662H3068H2814H6031H3966
