1 Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2 as when fire kindles brushwoodand the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your adversaries,and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 When you did awesome things that we did not look for,you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 From of old no one has heardor perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you,who acts for those who wait for him.
5 You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,those who remember you in your ways.Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?
