64 Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down! How the mountains would quake in your presence! 2 As fire causes wood to burn Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame! 3 When you came down long ago, And oh, how the mountains quaked! 4 For since the world began, who works for those who wait for him! 5 You welcome those who gladly do good, how can people like us be saved? 6 We are all infected and impure with sin. and our sins sweep us away like the wind. 7 Yet no one calls on your name and turned us over to our sins. 8 And yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We all are formed by your hand. 9 Don’t be so angry with us, LORD. and see that we are all your people. 10 Your holy cities are destroyed. yes, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin. 11 The holy and beautiful Temple and all the things of beauty are destroyed. 12 After all this, LORD, must you still refuse to help us? Will you continue to be silent and punish us?
