As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
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.
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.
And all aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.

Isaiah 64:4
Besides thee - This is to be applied to all the wonderful works, that God at all times wrought for his people: and thus they are a plea with God, that they might well expect such things from him now, that had done such wonderful things for their fathers. Waiteth - This may be taken with reference both to the state of grace and glory, those incomprehensible things that are exhibited through Christ in the mysteries of the gospel.
