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!

aIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.

And all aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.

And have1 consumed us because of our iniquities.

Where our fathers praised You,
Is burned up with fire;
And all aour pleasant things are laid waste.
