\c 64
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 "Yahweh, I wish that you had come down from the sky;
|
|
\q2 you would have caused the mountains to shake with fear.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 It would have been like fire burning up dead wood,
|
|
\q2 or like fire making water to boil.
|
|
\q1 Come down in order that your enemies will know who you are,
|
|
\q2 and so that the people of other nations will tremble in your presence.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 You did awesome things that we were not expecting you to do;
|
|
\q2 the mountains shook when you came down onto Mount Sinai.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Since long ago no one has ever seen or heard about a God like you;
|
|
\q2 you help those who depend on you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 You help those who joyfully do what is right,
|
|
\q2 those who conduct their lives as you want them to.
|
|
\q1 But we did not do that; we continued to sin,
|
|
\q2 and so you became angry with us.
|
|
\q1 We have been sinning for a long time.
|
|
\q2 It is only if we continually do what you want us to do that you will save us.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 We have all become people who are not fit to worship you;
|
|
\q2 all of the good things that we have done are only like bloodstained rags.
|
|
\q1 Because of our sins, we are all like leaves that dry up
|
|
\q2 and are blown away by the wind.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 None of our people worships you,
|
|
\q2 and no one really tries to persuade you to help him.
|
|
\q1 You have turned away from us.
|
|
\q2 It is as though you have abandoned us, so that we keep sinning and become more and more guilty.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 But even so, Yahweh, you are our father.
|
|
\q2 We are like clay that a potter uses,
|
|
\q2 and you created us, like a potter creates pottery.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Yahweh, do not continue to be angry with us;
|
|
\q2 do not keep thinking about our sins forever.
|
|
\q1 Do not forget that we are all your people.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 All of your towns in Judah have become like the wilderness;
|
|
\q2 even Jerusalem has been destroyed.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Your glorious temple on Mountain Zion, where our ancestors worshiped you,
|
|
\q2 has been completely burned up.
|
|
\q2 And all our other beautiful things have been ruined.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Yahweh, you see all those things, but it seems that you refuse to do anything to help us.
|
|
\q2 It seems that you will cause us to suffer much more."
