² Lord, I have heard^(A) of your fame;
    I stand in awe^(B) of your deeds, Lord.^(C)
Repeat^(D) them in our day,
    in our time make them known;
    in wrath remember mercy.^(E)

⁶ Will you not revive^(A) us again,
    that your people may rejoice^(B) in you?

¹⁶ I heard and my heart pounded,
    my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
    and my legs trembled.^(A)
Yet I will wait patiently^(B) for the day of calamity
    to come on the nation invading us.

³² Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
    so great is his unfailing love.^(A)

¹⁵ Look down from heaven^(A) and see,
    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)

⁹ Awake, awake,^(A) arm^(B) of the Lord,
    clothe yourself with strength!^(C)
Awake, as in days gone by,
    as in generations of old.^(D)
Was it not you who cut Rahab^(E) to pieces,
    who pierced that monster^(F) through?
¹⁰ Was it not you who dried up the sea,^(G)
    the waters of the great deep,^(H)
who made a road in the depths of the sea^(I)
    so that the redeemed^(J) might cross over?
¹¹ Those the Lord has rescued^(K) will return.
    They will enter Zion with singing;^(L)
    everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy^(M) will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.^(N)

¹³ Relent, Lord! How long^(A) will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.^(B)
14 Satisfy^(C) us in the morning with your unfailing love,^(D)
    that we may sing for joy^(E) and be glad all our days.^(F)
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.
¹⁶ May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendor to their children.^(G)

¹⁷ May the favor^[a] of the Lord our God rest on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us—
    yes, establish the work of our hands.^(H)
