11OhH3863, that You would tearH7167 openH7167 the heavensH8064 and 2comeH3381 downH3381, That the mountainsH2022 would 3quakeH2151 at Your presenceH6440--24As fireH784 kindlesH6919 brushwoodH2003, as fireH784 causes waterH4325 to boilH1158-- To makeH3045 Your nameH8034 knownH3045 to Your adversariesH6862, That the 5nationsH1471 may trembleH7264 at Your presenceH6440!3When You didH6213 6awesomeH3372 thingsH3372 which we did not expectH6960, You cameH3381 downH3381, the mountainsH2022 quakedH2151 at Your presenceH6440.4For from daysH5769 ofH5769 oldH5769 7they have not heardH8085 orH3808 perceivedH238 byH238 earH238, NorH408 has the eyeH5869 seenH7200 a GodH430 besidesH2108 You, Who actsH6213 in behalf of one who 8waitsH2442 for Him.5You 9meetH6293 him who rejoicesH7797 in 10doingH6213 righteousnessH6664, Who 11remembersH2142 You in Your waysH1870. BeholdH2005, 12You wereH7107 angryH7107, for we sinnedH2398, We continued in 13our sins for a longH5769 timeH5769; Yet shall we be savedH3467?6For allH3605 of us have becomeH1961 like one who is 14uncleanH2931, And allH3605 our 15righteousH6666 deedsH6666 are like a filthyH5713 garmentH899; And allH3605 of us 16witherH5034 like a leafH5929, And our 17wrongdoingsH5771, like the windH7307, takeH5375 us away.7ThereH369 isH369 18noH369 oneH369 who callsH7121 on Your nameH8034, Who stirsH5782 himself to takeH2388 holdH2388 of You; For You have 19hiddenH5641 Your faceH6440 from us And have 20surrenderedH4042 us to the powerH3027 of our wrongdoingsH5771.

8But nowH6258, LordH3068, 21You are our FatherH1; We are the 22clayH2563, and You our potterH3335, And allH3605 of us are the 23workH4639 of Your handH3027.9Do not beH7107 24angryH7107 beyondH5704 measureH3966, LordH3068, 25NorH408 rememberH2142 wrongdoingH5771 foreverH5703. BeholdH2005, pleaseH4994 lookH5027, allH3605 of us are 26Your peopleH5971.10Your 27holyH6944 citiesH5892 have becomeH1961 a 28wildernessH4057, ZionH6726 has becomeH1961 a wildernessH4057, JerusalemH3389 a desolationH8077.11Our holyH6944 and beautifulH8597 29houseH1004, WhereH834 our fathersH1 praisedH1984 You, Has beenH1961 burnedH8316 by fireH784; And 30allH3605 our preciousH4261 thingsH4261 have becomeH1961 a ruinH2723.12Will You 31restrainH662 Yourself at theseH428 thingsH428, LordH3068? Will You keepH2814 silentH2814 and afflictH6031 us beyondH5704 measureH3966?
