64:1 Didst
Thou
not
rend
the
heavens
Thou
didst
come
down,
From
thy
presence
did
mountains
flow,
64:2 (As
fire
kindleth
stubble--Fire
causeth
water
to
boil,)
To
make
known
Thy
name
to
Thine
adversaries,
From
Thy
presence
do
nations
tremble.
64:3 In
Thy
doing
fearful
things--we
expect
not,
Thou
didst
come
down,
From
Thy
presence
did
mountains
flow.
64:4 Even
from
antiquity
[men]
have
not
heard,
They
have
not
given
ear,
Eye
hath
not
seen
a
God
save
Thee,
He
doth
work
for
those
waiting
for
Him.
64:5 Thou
hast
met
with
the
rejoicer
And
the
doer
of
righteousness,
In
Thy
ways
they
remember
Thee,
Lo,
Thou
hast
been
wroth
when
we
sin,
By
them
[is]
continuance,
and
we
are
saved.
64:6 And
we
are
as
unclean--all
of
us,
And
as
a
garment
passing
away,
all
our
righteous
acts;
And
we
fade
as
a
leaf--all
of
us.
And
our
iniquities
as
wind
do
take
us
away.
64:7 And
there
is
none
calling
in
Thy
name,
Stirring
up
himself
to
lay
hold
on
Thee,
For
Thou
hast
hid
Thy
face
from
us,
And
thou
meltest
us
away
by
our
iniquities.
64:8 And
now,
O
Jehovah,
thou
[art]
our
Father,
We
[are]
the
clay,
and
Thou
our
Framer,
And
the
work
of
Thy
hand--all
of
us.
64:9 Be
not
wroth,
O
Jehovah,
very
sore,
Nor
for
ever
remember
iniquity,
Lo,
look
attentively,
we
beseech
Thee,
Thy
people
[are]
we
all.
64:10 Thy
holy
cities
have
been
a
wilderness,
Zion
a
wilderness
hath
been,
Jerusalem
a
desolation.
64:11 Our
holy
and
our
beautiful
house,
Where
praise
Thee
did
our
fathers,
Hath
become
burnt
with
fire,
And
all
our
desirable
things
have
become
a
waste.
64:12 For
these
dost
Thou
refrain
Thyself,
Jehovah
Thou
art
silent,
and
dost
afflict
us
very
sore!'
