[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.

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 the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

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)
