[a] as fire kindles brushwood,
    the fire causes water to boil,
to make your name known to your adversaries,
    that the nations might tremble from your presence.[b]
When you did terrible deeds which we did not expect,[c] you came down;
    the mountains quaked because of your presence.[d]
And since ancient times they have not heard,
    have not listened,
no eye has seen a God except you;
    he acts[e] for the one who waits for him.

сгорели бы в огне, как хворост,
    и закипели бы, как вода.
Сойди же, чтобы сделать имя Своё известным Твоим врагам,
    и тогда содрогнулись бы перед Тобой народы!
Когда Ты творил страшные дела,
    которых мы не ждали,
Ты спускался,
    и горы тряслись пред Тобой.
С древних времён никто не слышал,
    никакое ухо не внимало,
никакой глаз не видел Бога, кроме Тебя,
    Который действует ради уповающих на Него.

Ca focul care aprinde vreascurile
    sau face ca apa să fiarbă,
aşa să-Ţi faci cunoscut Numele duşmanilor Tăi,
    pentru ca neamurile să tremure înaintea Ta!
Când ai făcut lucruri înfricoşătoare, la care nu ne aşteptam,
    când Te-ai coborât, munţii s-au cutremurat înaintea Ta.
Din vremuri străvechi nu s-a pomenit,
    nici o ureche n-a auzit
şi nici un ochi n-a văzut vreun alt Dumnezeu în afară de Tine,
    Care să lucreze pentru cei ce-L aşteaptă.

As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(A) known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake(B) before you!
For when you did awesome(C) things that we did not expect,
    you came down, and the mountains trembled(D) before you.
Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(E)
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(F)
