Chapter 64

Oh that you would tear open the heavens and come down
    so that the mountains would quake in your presence,
as when fire sets brushwood ablaze
    or causes water to boil.
Thus your name would be known to your adversaries
    and the nations would tremble at your presence.

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!
