64 ^(A)Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
    ^(B)that the mountains might quake at your presence—
^2 [a] as when fire kindles brushwood
    and the fire causes water to boil—
^(C)to make your name known to your adversaries,
    and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
^3 (D)When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
    you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
^4 (E)From of old no one has heard
    or perceived by the ear,
^(F)no eye has seen a God besides you,
    who acts for those who wait for him.
⁵ You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
    those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
    in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?^[b]
6 (G)We have all become like one who is unclean,
    and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
^(H)We all fade like a leaf,
    and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
^7 (I)There is no one who calls upon your name,
    who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
    and have made us melt in^[c] the hand of our iniquities.

^8 (J)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
    ^(K)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
    ^(L)we are all the work of your hand.
^9 (M)Be not so terribly angry, O Lord,
    ^(N)and remember not iniquity forever.
    Behold, please look, we are all your people.

^3 (J)Restore us,^[a] O God;
    ^(K)let your face shine, that we may be saved!

⁴ O ^(L)Lord God of hosts,
    ^(M)how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
⁵ You have fed them with ^(N)the bread of tears
    and given them tears to drink in full measure.
^6 (O)You make us an object of contention for our ^(P)neighbors,
    and our enemies laugh among themselves.

^7 (Q)Restore us, O God of hosts;
    let your face shine, that we may be saved!

^(M)“You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you”?

^(N)“I will be to him a father,
    and he shall be to me a son”?

^(P)“Let all God's angels worship him.”

^(Q)“He makes his angels winds,
    and his ministers a flame of fire.”

^(R)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
    the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
⁹ You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, ^(S)has anointed you
    with ^(T)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

^(U)“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands;
¹¹ they will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment,
¹² like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.^[a]
But you are ^(V)the same,
    and your years will have no end.”

^(W)“Sit at my right hand
    ^(X)until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
