## Text

[1] If only You would rend the heavens and come down,
so that mountains would quake at Your presence, [2] as fire kindles the brushwood
and causes the water to boil,
to make Your name known to Your enemies,
so that the nations will tremble at Your presence! [3] When You did awesome works that we did not expect,
You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence. [4] From ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides You,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. [5] You welcome those who gladly do right,
who remember Your ways.
Surely You were angry, for we sinned.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins? [6] Each of us has become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all wither like a leaf,
and our iniquities carry us away like the wind. [7] No one calls on Your name
or strives to take hold of You.
For You have hidden Your face from us
and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity. [8] But now, O LORD, You are our Father;
we are the clay, and You are the potter;
we are all the work of Your hand. [9] Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure;
do not remember our iniquity forever.
Oh, look upon us, we pray;
we are all Your people! [10] Your holy cities have become a wilderness.
Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation. [11] Our holy and beautiful temple,
where our fathers praised You,
has been burned with fire,
and all that was dear to us lies in ruins. [12] After all this, O LORD,
will You restrain Yourself?
Will You keep silent
and afflict us beyond measure?
