ULT ISA Chapter 64

64 Oh, if you had split open the heavens and come down!

The mountains would have shaken at your presence,

2 as fire kindles the brushwood,

or fire boils water

to make your name known by your adversaries,

before your face nations tremble.

3 When you did fearful things we had not hoped for,

you came down; before your face the mountains trembled.

4 And from ancient times they have not heard;

they have not given ear;

no eye has seen a god besides you,

who works for him who waits for him.

5 You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,

who recalls your ways.

Behold, you were angry for we had sinned;

through them of old we would be saved.

6 And all of us have become like an unclean one,

and all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual rag.

And we have withered like leaves, all of us,

and our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.

7 And there are none who calls on your name,

who stirs himself up to take hold of you.

For you have hidden your face from us

and made us waste away in the hand of our iniquities.

8 And yet, Yahweh, our Father you are.

We are the clay, and you are our potter;

and we all are the work of your hand.

9 Do not be angry beyond measure, Yahweh,

and do not forever remember iniquity.

Behold, look, please, all of us are your people.

10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;

Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised you,

has been burned in fire,

and all our beloved things are in ruins.

12 At these, will you restrain yourself, Yahweh?

Will you remain silent and humiliate us beyond measure?
