* Oh that you would rend the heavens , that you would come down , that the mountains might quake at your presence , * as when fire kindles the brushwood , [and ] the fire causes the waters to boil ; to make your name known to your adversaries , that the nations may tremble at your presence ! * When you did awesome things which we didn 't look for , you came down , the mountains quaked at your presence . * For from of old men haven 't heard , nor perceived by the ear , neither has the eye seen a God besides you , who works for him who waits for him . * You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness , those who remember you in your ways : look , you were angry , and we sinned : in them [we have been ] of long time ; and shall we be saved ? * For we have all become as one who is unclean , and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment : and all of us fade as a leaf ; and our iniquities , like the wind , take us away . * And there is none who calls on your name , who stirs up himself to take hold of you ; for you have hid your face from us , and have consumed us by means of our iniquities . * But now , O Yahweh , you are our Father ; we are the clay , and you our potter ; and all of us are the work of your hand . * Don 't be angry very intensely , O Yahweh , neither remember iniquity forever : see , look , we urge you , we are all your people . * Your holy cities have become a wilderness , Zion has become a wilderness , Jerusalem a desolation . * Our holy and our beautiful house , where our fathers praised you , has burned with fire ; and all our pleasant places are laid waste . * Will you refrain yourself for these things , O Yahweh ? Will you hold your peace , and afflict us very intensely ?
