64:1 | Oh <03863> that thou wouldest rend <07167> (8804) the heavens <08064>, that thou wouldest come down <03381> (8804), that the mountains <02022> might flow down <02151> (8738) at thy presence <06440>, |
64:2 | As [when] the melting <02003> fire <0784> burneth <06919> (8800), the fire <0784> causeth the waters <04325> to boil <01158> (8799), to make thy name <08034> known <03045> (8687) to thine adversaries <06862>, [that] the nations <01471> may tremble <07264> (8799) at thy presence <06440>! {the melting...: Heb. the fire of meltings} |
64:3 | When thou didst <06213> (8800) terrible things <03372> (8737) [which] we looked <06960> (8762) not for, thou camest down <03381> (8804), the mountains <02022> flowed down <02151> (8738) at thy presence <06440>. |
64:4 | For since the beginning of the world <05769> [men] have not heard <08085> (8804), nor perceived by the ear <0238> (8689), neither hath the eye <05869> seen <07200> (8804), O God <0430>, beside <02108> thee, [what] he hath prepared <06213> (8799) for him that waiteth <02442> (8764) for him. {seen...: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc} |
64:5 | Thou meetest <06293> (8804) him that rejoiceth <07797> (8801) and worketh <06213> (8802) righteousness <06664>, [those that] remember <02142> (8799) thee in thy ways <01870>: behold, thou art wroth <07107> (8804); for we have sinned <02398> (8799): in those is continuance <05769>, and we shall be saved <03467> (8735). |
64:6 | But we are all as an unclean <02931> [thing], and all our righteousnesses <06666> [are] as filthy <05708> rags <0899>; and we all do fade <05034> (8799) (8676) <01101> (8686) as a leaf <05929>; and our iniquities <05771>, like the wind <07307>, have taken us away <05375> (8799). |
64:7 | And [there is] none that calleth <07121> (8802) upon thy name <08034>, that stirreth up <05782> (8711) himself to take hold <02388> (8687) of thee: for thou hast hid <05641> (8689) thy face <06440> from us, and hast consumed <04127> (8799) us, because <03027> of our iniquities <05771>. {consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand} |
64:8 | But now, O LORD <03068>, thou [art] our father <01>; we [are] the clay <02563>, and thou our potter <03335> (8802); and we all [are] the work <04639> of thy hand <03027>. |
64:9 | Be not wroth <07107> (8799) very sore <03966>, O LORD <03068>, neither remember <02142> (8799) iniquity <05771> for ever <05703>: behold, see <05027> (8685), we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people <05971>. |
64:10 | Thy holy <06944> cities <05892> are a wilderness <04057>, Zion <06726> is a wilderness <04057>, Jerusalem <03389> a desolation <08077>. |
64:11 | Our holy <06944> and our beautiful <08597> house <01004>, where our fathers <01> praised <01984> (8765) thee, is burned up <08316> with fire <0784>: and all our pleasant things <04261> are laid waste <02723>. |
64:12 | Wilt thou refrain <0662> (8691) thyself for these [things], O LORD <03068>? wilt thou hold thy peace <02814> (8799), and afflict <06031> (8762) us very sore <03966>? |
