1 If only you would tear open the heavens and come down!Mountains would quake before you
2 like fire igniting brushwood or making water boil. If you would make your name known to your enemies,the nations would tremble in your presence.
3 When you accomplished wonders beyond all our expectations;when you came down, mountains quaked before you.
4 From ancient times,no one has heard,no ear has perceived,no eye has seen any god but youwho acts on behalf of those who wait for him!
5 You look after those who gladly do right;they will praise you for your ways.But you were angry when we sinned;you hid yourself when we did wrong.
6 We have all become like the unclean;all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual rag.All of us wither like a leaf;our sins, like the wind, carry us away.
