Berean Study BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,1Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, That the mountains might quake at Your presence--
2as 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!2As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil-- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.3When You did awesome things which we did not expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.
4From 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.4For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.
5You 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?5You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry, for we sinned, We continued in them a long time; And shall we be saved?
6Each 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.6For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7No 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.7There is no one who calls on Your name, Who arouses himself to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us And have delivered us into the power of our iniquities.
8But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.8But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand.
9Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!9Do not be angry beyond measure, O LORD, Nor remember iniquity forever; Behold, look now, all of us are Your people.
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.10Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.11Our holy and beautiful house, Where our fathers praised You, Has been burned by fire; And all our precious things have become a ruin.
12After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?12Will You restrain Yourself at these things, O LORD? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
