* If thou wouldest open the heaven , trembling will take hold upon the mountains from thee , and they shall melt , * as wax melts before the fire ; and fire shall burn up the enemies , and thy name shall be manifest among the adversaries : at thy presence the nations shall be troubled , * whenever thou shalt work gloriously ; trembling from thee shall take hold upon the mountains . * From of old (note :)1 Co strkjv @2:9 (:note ) we have not heard , neither have our eyes seen a God beside thee , and thy works which thou wilt perform to them that wait for mercy . * For these blessings shall happen to them that work righteousness , and they shall remember thy ways : behold , thou wast angry and we have sinned ; therefore we have erred , * and we are all become as unclean , and all our righteousness as a filthy rag : and we have (note :)Lit . flowed out (:note ) fallen as leaves because of our iniquities ; thus the wind shall carry us away . * And there is none that calls upon thy name , or that remembers to take hold on thee : for thou hast turned thy face away from us , and hast delivered us up because of our sins . * And now , O Lord , thou art our Father , and we are clay , all of us the work of thine hands . * Be not very wroth with us , and remember not our sins (note :)The Gr . en kairw is a Hebraism (:note ) for ever ; but now look on us , for we are all thy people . * The city of thy holiness has become desolate , Sion has become as a wilderness , Jerusalem a curse . * The house , our sanctuary , and the glory which our fathers blessed , has been burnt with fire : and all our glorious things have gone to ruin . * And for all these things thou , O Lord , has withholden , thyself , and been silent , and hast brought us very low .
