1 Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down!How the mountains would quake in your presence!
2 As fire causes wood to burnand water to boil,your coming would make the nations tremble.Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame!
3 When you came down long ago,you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations.And oh, how the mountains quaked!
4 For since the world began,no ear has heardand no eye has seen a God like you,who works for those who wait for him!
5 You welcome those who gladly do good,who follow godly ways.But you have been very angry with us,for we are not godly.We are constant sinners;how can people like us be saved?
