641Oh that you would tear the heavens,that you would come down,that the mountains might quake at your presence.+2As when fire kindles the brushwood,and the fire causes the water to boil;Make your name known to your adversaries,that the nations may tremble at your presence!+3When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for,you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.+4For from of old men have not heard,nor perceived by the ear,nor has the eye seen a God besides you,who works for him who waits for him.+5You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,those who remember you in your ways.Behold, you were angry, and we sinned.We have been in sin for a long time.Shall we be saved?+6For we have all become like one who is unclean,and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment.We all fade like a leaf;and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.+7There is no one who calls on your name,who stirs himself up to take hold of you;for you have hidden your face from us,and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.+8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father.We are the clay, and you our potter.We all are the work of your hand.+9Don’t be furious, Yahweh,and don’t remember iniquity forever.Look and see, we beg you,we are all your people.+10Your holy cities have become a wilderness.Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.+11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you,is burned with fire;and all our pleasant places are laid waste.+12Will you hold yourself back for these things, Yahweh?Will you keep silent, and punish us very severely?+
