The waters of the great deep;
That made the depths of the sea a road

A Prayer of Penitence
15 (A)Look down from heaven,
And see (B)from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning (C)of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained?
16 (D)Doubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham (E)was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 O Lord, why have You (F)made us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
18 (G)Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;
(H)Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
Those who were never called by Your name.
A Prayer for Help
64 Oh, that You would [a]rend the heavens!
That You would come down!
That the mountains might shake at Your (I)presence—
2 As fire burns brushwood,
As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3 When (J)You did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world
(K)Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

from your lofty throne,(B) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(C) and your might?
Your tenderness and compassion(D) are withheld(E) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(F)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(G) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(H) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(I) from your ways
and harden our hearts(J) so we do not revere(K) you?
Return(L) for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your inheritance.(M)
18 For a little while(N) your people possessed your holy place,
but now our enemies have trampled(O) down your sanctuary.(P)
19 We are yours from of old;
but you have not ruled over them,
they have not been called[a] by your name.(Q)
64 [b]Oh, that you would rend the heavens(R) and come down,(S)
that the mountains(T) would tremble before you!
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(U) known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake(V) before you!
3 For when you did awesome(W) things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled(X) before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(Y)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(Z)

The Lord’s Reply
5 “Look(A) among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
6 For indeed I am (B)raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty (C)nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are (D)swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their [a]chargers [b]charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the (E)eagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

The Lord’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.(A)
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.(B)
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a](C)
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth(D)
to seize dwellings not their own.(E)
7 They are a feared and dreaded people;(F)
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
8 Their horses are swifter(G) than leopards,
fiercer than wolves(H) at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9 they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes[b] advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners(I) like sand.
10 They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.(J)
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps(K) they capture them.
