  64:1 ¶
If thou wouldest open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from thee, and they shall melt, |
|
64:1 ¶
Oh°
that°
thou wouldest rend°°
the heavens,°
that thou wouldest come down,°°
that the mountains°
might flow down°°
at thy presence,°° |
|
64:2
as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and thy name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at thy presence the nations shall be troubled, |
|
64:2
As [when] the melting°
fire°
burneth,°°
the fire°
causeth the waters°
to boil,°°
to make thy name°
known°°
to thine adversaries,°
[that] the nations°
may tremble°°
at thy presence!°° |
|
64:3
whenever thou shalt work gloriously; trembling from thee shall take hold upon the mountains. |
|
64:3
When thou didst°°
terrible things°°
[which] we looked°°
not for,°°
thou camest down,°°
the mountains°
flowed down°°
at thy presence.°° |
|
64:4
From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside thee, and thy works which thou wilt perform to them that wait for mercy. |
|
64:4
For since the beginning of the world°°
[men] have not°
heard,°°
nor°
perceived by the ear,°°
neither°
hath the eye°
seen,°°
O Elohim,°
beside°
thee, [what] he hath prepared°°
for him that waiteth°°
for him. |
|
64:5
For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember thy ways: behold, thou wast angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred, |
|
64:5
Thou meetest°°°
him that rejoiceth°°
and worketh°°
righteousness,°
[those that] remember°°
thee in thy ways:°
behold,°
thou°
art wroth;°°
for we have sinned:°°
in those is continuance,°
and we shall be saved.°° |
|
64:6
and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away]. |
|
64:6
But we are°
all°
as an unclean°
[thing], and all°
our righteousnesses°
[are] as filthy°
rags;°
and we all°
do fade°°°°°
as a leaf;°
and our iniquities,°
like the wind,°
have taken us away.°° |
|
64:7
And there is none that calls upon thy name, or that remembers to take hold on thee: for thou hast turned thy face away from us, and hast delivered us up because of our sins. |
|
64:7
And [there is] none°
that calleth°°
upon thy name,°
that stirreth up°°
himself°
to take hold°°
of thee: for°
thou hast hid°°
thy face°
from°
us, and hast consumed°°
us, because°
of our iniquities.° |
|
64:8
And now, O Lord, thou art our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of thine hands. |
|
64:8
But now,°
O Yahweh,°
thou°
[art] our father;°
we°
[are] the clay,°
and thou°
our potter;°°
and we all°
[are] the work°
of thy hand.° |
|
64:9 ¶
Be not very wroth with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all thy people. |
|
64:9 ¶
Be not wroth°°°
very sore,°°
O Yahweh,°
neither°
remember°°
iniquity°
for ever:°
behold,°
see,°°
we beseech thee,°
we [are] all°
thy people.° |
|
64:10
The city of thy holiness has become desolate, Zion{gr.Sion} has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse. |
|
64:10
Thy holy°
cities°
are°
a wilderness,°
Zion°
is°
a wilderness,°
Jerusalem°
a desolation.° |
|
64:11
The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin. |
|
64:11
Our holy°
and our beautiful°
house,°
where°
our fathers°
praised°°
thee, is°
burned up°
with fire:°
and all°
our pleasant things°
are°
laid waste.° |
|
64:12
And for all these things thou, O Lord, has withholden, thyself, and been silent, and hast brought us very low. |
|
64:12
Wilt thou refrain°°
thyself°
for°
these°
[things], O Yahweh?°
wilt thou hold thy peace,°°
and afflict°°
us very sore?°° |
