Verse
KJV
King James Version
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Oh
that
thou
wouldest
rend the heavens ,
that
thou
wouldest
come down, that the
mountains might
flow
down
at thy
presence,
If
only
You
would
rend the heavens and
come down, so
that mountains would
quake
at Your
presence,
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!
as fire kindles
the brushwood
and
causes
the water
to boil, to make Your
name known to Your
enemies
, so
that the nations will
tremble at Your
presence!
When thou
didst
terrible
things
which
we looked
not for
, thou
camest
down, the mountains flowed
down
at thy
presence.
When You
did
awesome
works
that
we did
not expect
, You
came
down, and
the mountains trembled
at Your
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.
From
ancient
times
no
one
has
heard, no
ear has
perceived
, no
eye has
seen any
God besides
You
, who
acts
on
behalf
of
those
who
wait
for Him.
Thou
meetest
him
that
rejoiceth
and
worketh
righteousness,
those that
remember thee
in
thy
ways :
behold
, thou
art
wroth;
for we have
sinned :
in
those
is
continuance,
and
we shall
be saved .
You
welcome
those who
gladly
do
right,
who
remember Your
ways .
Surely
You
were
angry
, for we sinned .
How
can
we be saved if
we
remain
in
our
sins?
But
we
are
all
as
an
unclean thing
, and all our righteousnesses
are as
filthy rags; and
we all do
fade
as
a leaf ;
and our iniquities ,
like the wind ,
have
taken
us
away
.
Each
of
us
has
become
like
something
unclean, and all our righteous
acts
are like
filthy rags; we all wither
like
a leaf ,
and our iniquities carry
us
away
like the wind.
And
there
is
none
that
calleth
upon
thy
name ,
that
stirreth
up
himself
to take hold of thee:
for thou
hast
hid
thy
face from us ,
and hast
consumed
us ,
because
of our iniquities
.
No
one
calls
on
Your
name or
strives
to take hold of You.
For You
have
hidden
Your
face from us and delivered
us into
the
hand
of our iniquity
.
But now, O LORD, thou
art
our father; we are the clay, and thou
our
potter; and
we all
are the work of thy
hand.
But now, O LORD, You
are
our Father; we are the clay, and You
are
the
potter; we are all
the work of Your
hand.
Be
not wroth
very
sore
, O LORD, neither
remember iniquity for
ever:
behold
, see
, we beseech
thee,
we are all thy
people .
Do
not be
angry
, O LORD, beyond
measure;
do
not
remember our
iniquity forever.
Oh
, look
upon
us
, we pray;
we are all Your
people !
Thy
holy cities are
a wilderness ,
Zion is
a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
Your
holy cities have
become
a wilderness .
Zion has
become
a wasteland
and
Jerusalem a desolation.
Our holy and our
beautiful house
, where our fathers praised thee
, is
burned up
with fire :
and all our
pleasant
things
are
laid
waste
.
Our holy and beautiful temple
, where our fathers praised You
, has
been
burned with fire ,
and all that
was
dear
to
us
lies
in
ruins
.
Wilt
thou
refrain
thyself
for
these
things
, O LORD ?
wilt
thou
hold
thy
peace
, and afflict us very
sore
?
After
all
this
, O LORD, will
You
restrain
Yourself?
Will
You
keep
silent
and afflict us beyond
measure
?
