[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.

As fire burns brushwood,
As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
When (A)You did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
For since the beginning of the world
(B)Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts 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.

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.
