\q1
|
|
\v 1 "Oh, if you had split open the heavens and come down! The mountains would have shook at your presence,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, or the fire makes water boil.
|
|
\q1 Oh, that your name would be known by your
|
|
adversaries, that the nations would tremble at your presence!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Previously, when you did marvelous things that we had not expected, you came down, and the mountains trembled at your presence.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived,
|
|
\q1 nor eye seen any God besides you, who does things for him who waits for him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 You come to help those who rejoice in doing what is right, those who call to mind your ways and obey them.
|
|
\q1 You were angry when we sinned. In your ways we will always be rescued.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual rag.
|
|
\q1 We have all withered like
|
|
leaves; our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 There are none who call on your name, who makes an effort to take hold of you;
|
|
\q1 for you have hidden your face from us, and made us waste away in the hand of our iniquities.
|
|
|
|
\s5

|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 And yet, Yahweh, you are our father;
|
|
\q1 we are the clay. You are our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Be not too angry, Yahweh, nor always call to mind against us our sins.
|
|
\q1 Please look at us all, your people.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
|
|
\q1 Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised you,
|
|
\q1 has been destroyed by fire, and all that was so dear is in ruins.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 How can you still hold back, Yahweh? How can you remain silent and continue to humiliate us?"
