1Oh, that Thou wouldst rend the heavens and come down, 2As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil— 3When Thou didst awesome things which we did not expect, 4For from of old they have not heard nor perceived by ear, 5Thou dost meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness, 6For all of us have become like one who is unclean, 7And there is no one who calls on Thy name, 8But now, O LORD, Thou art our Father, 9Do not be angry beyond measure, O LORD, 10Thy holy cities have become a wilderness, 11Our holy and beautiful house, 12Wilt Thou restrain Thyself at these things, O LORD?
