1 Oh, that You would1 rend the heavens!
That You would come down!
That the mountains might shake at Your apresence—
That You would come down!
That the mountains might shake at Your apresence—
2 As fire burns brushwood,
As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!

That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3 When aYou did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world
aMen have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
aIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.

You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
aIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.
6 But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
