- 1Oh, that you would tear open the heavens and come down, that the mountains might melt at your presence,
- 2As when the melting fire burns, causing the waters to boil, make your name known to your adversaries, so that the nations may tremble at your presence!
- 3In the past, you did terrifying things we never expected. You came down, and the mountains melted at your presence.
- 4For since the beginning of the world people have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides you, what he has prepared for him who waits for him.
- 5You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you are angry, for we have sinned; in those is continuance, and we will be saved.
- 6But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
- 7No one calls on your name or stirs themselves to take hold of you. You have hidden your face from us and consumed us because of our iniquities.
- 8But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
- 9Don't stay furious with us, LORD. Don't hold our sins against us forever. Please, look at us — we are all your people.
- 10Your holy cities have become a wasteland. Zion is a wilderness. Jerusalem lies in ruins.
- 11Our holy and beautiful temple — the place where our ancestors praised you — has been burned to the ground. Everything we treasured has been destroyed.
- 12After all of this, LORD, will you still hold back? Will you stay silent and afflict us severely?
