64 [a]Oh, that You would rend the heavens and (A)come down,
That the mountains might (B)quake at Your presence—
[b]As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the (C)nations may tremble at Your presence!
When You did (D)awesome things for which we did not hope,
You came down; the mountains quaked at Your presence.
For from ancient times (E)they have not heard or given ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of the one who (F)waits for Him.
You (G)meet him who rejoices and (H)does righteousness,
Who (I)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, (J)You were angry; indeed we have sinned—
We continued in them a long time—
And shall we be saved?
For all of us have become like one who is (K)unclean,
And all our (L)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us (M)wither like a leaf,
And our (N)iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
There is (O)no one who calls on Your name,
Who awakens himself to take hold of You,
For You have (P)hidden Your face from us
And have [c]melted us into the hand of our iniquities.

But now, O Yahweh, (Q)You are our Father;
We are the (R)clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the (S)work of Your hand.
Do not be (T)angry beyond measure, O Yahweh,
(U)Nor remember iniquity forever;
Behold, look now, all of us are (V)Your people.
10 Your (W)holy cities have become a (X)wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and glorious (Y)house,
Where our fathers praised You,
Has been burned by fire;
And (Z)all our precious things have become a waste place.
12 Will You (AA)restrain Yourself at these things, O Yahweh?
Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

64 [a]Oh, that you would rend the heavens(A) and come down,(B)
    that the mountains(C) would tremble before you!
As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(D) known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake(E) before you!
For when you did awesome(F) things that we did not expect,
    you came down, and the mountains trembled(G) before you.
Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(H)
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(I)
You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(J)
    who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
    you were angry.(K)
    How then can we be saved?
All of us have become like one who is unclean,(L)
    and all our righteous(M) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(N)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(O)
No one(P) calls on your name(Q)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(R) your face from us
    and have given us over(S) to[b] our sins.

Yet you, Lord, are our Father.(T)
    We are the clay, you are the potter;(U)
    we are all the work of your hand.(V)
Do not be angry(W) beyond measure, Lord;
    do not remember our sins(X) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
    for we are all your people.(Y)
10 Your sacred cities(Z) have become a wasteland;
    even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.(AA)
11 Our holy and glorious temple,(AB) where our ancestors praised you,
    has been burned with fire,
    and all that we treasured(AC) lies in ruins.
12 After all this, Lord, will you hold yourself back?(AD)
    Will you keep silent(AE) and punish us beyond measure?

64 Oh buksan mo sana ang langit, na ikaw ay bumaba, na ang mga bundok ay gumuho sa iyong harapan.

Gaya ng kung nililiyaban ng apoy ang siitan, at ng kung pinakukulo ng apoy ang tubig; upang ipakilala ang iyong pangalan sa iyong mga kaaway, upang ang mga bansa ay manginig sa iyong harapan!

Nang ikaw ay gumawa ng mga kakilakilabot na bagay na hindi namin hinihintay, ikaw ay bumaba, ang mga bundok ay gumuho sa iyong harapan.

Sapagka't hindi narinig ng mga tao mula nang una, o naulinigan man ng pakinig, o ang mata ay nakakita man ng Dios liban sa iyo, na iginagawa niya ng kabutihan ang naghihintay sa kaniya.

Iyong sinasalubong siya na nagagalak at gumagawa ng katuwiran, yaong nagsialaala sa iyo sa iyong mga daan: narito, ikaw ay napoot, at kami ay nagkasala: napasa kanila kaming malaong panahon; at maliligtas baga kami?

Sapagka't kaming lahat ay naging parang marumi, at ang lahat naming katuwiran ay naging parang basahang marumi: at nalalantang gaya ng dahon kaming lahat; at tinatangay kami ng aming mga kasamaan, na parang hangin.

At walang tumatawag ng iyong pangalan, na gumigising upang manghawak sa iyo; sapagka't ikinubli mo ang iyong mukha sa amin, at iyong pinugnaw kami sa aming mga kasamaan.

Nguni't ngayon, Oh Panginoon, ikaw ay aming Ama; kami ang malagkit na putik, at ikaw ay magpapalyok sa amin; at kaming lahat ay gawa ng iyong kamay.

Huwag kang lubhang mapoot, Oh Panginoon, o umalaala man ng kasamaan ng magpakailan man: narito, tingnan mo, isinasamo namin sa iyo, kaming lahat ay iyong bayan.

10 Ang iyong mga bayang banal ay naging ilang, ang Sion ay naging giba, ang Jerusalem ay sira.

11 Ang aming banal at magandang bahay, na pinagpupurihan sa iyo ng aming mga magulang ay nasunog sa apoy; at lahat naming maligayang bagay ay nasira.

12 Magpipigil ka baga sa mga bagay na ito, Oh Panginoon? ikaw baga'y tatahimik, at pagdadalamhatiin mo kaming mainam?
