VIN(i)
1 Oh that You would tear the heavens and come down, that mountains would quake before You.
2 Be like the fire that kindles brushwood and makes water boil. Come down to make your name known to your enemies. The nations may tremble in your presence.
3 When you did awe-inspiring things that we did not expect, you came down and the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
5 You greeted the one who gladly does right and remembers your ways. You were angry because we sinned. We continued to sin for a long time. Can we still be saved?
6 For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 No one calls on your name or tries to hold on to you. You have hidden your face from us. You allowed us be ruined by our sins.
8 But now, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter and we are all the work of your hand.
9 Do not be angry very severely, O LORD, nor remember iniquity forever. Behold, look, we beseech you, we are all your people.
10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and beautiful Temple where our ancestors praised you has been burned to the ground. All that we valued has been ruined.
12 Despite these things, the LORD, will you restrain yourself? Will you be silent and make us suffer beyond measure?
