¹ If only you would split the heavens open

And come down,

And that mountains would be shaken at your presence.

²As fire burns brushwood,

And fire boils water,

So it will be

In making your name known to your adversaries

When the nations tremble at your presence,

³When you do fearful things

Which we do not expect,

Such as when you came down,

And when mountains were shaken at your presence.

⁵You met with him who rejoices

And does righteousness;

They will remember you by your ways.

Look, you have been angry,

And we have sinned against them throughout the age,

But we will be saved.

⁶And we have all been like an unclean thing;

All our righteous deeds are like a menstruous cloth,

And we have all faded like a leaf,

And our iniquities have carried us away like the wind.

⁷And there is no-one calling on your name,

Arousing himself to take hold of you,

For you have hidden your face from us,

And you have caused us to melt

On account of our iniquities.

⁸And now, O Lord,

You are our father;

We are the clay,

And you are our potter,

And we are all the work of your hand.

⁹O Lord,

Do not be extremely angry,

And do not remember iniquity in perpetuity.

Behold, do look,

We are all your people.

¹⁰Your holy cities have become a desert;

Zion has become a desert,

Jerusalem – a desolation.

¹¹Our holy and majestic house,

In which our fathers praised you,

Has become a burnt-out conflagration,

And all our delightful objects

Have become a desolation.

¹²Will you restrain yourself

Concerning these things,

O Lord?

Or will you be silent

And afflict us in the extreme?
