1 Oh that you would tear the heavens,
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood,
3 When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for,
4 For from of old men have not heard,
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
6 For we have all become like one who is unclean,
7 There is no one who calls on your name,
8 But now, LORD, you are our Father.
9 Don’t be furious, LORD.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you
12 Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD?
