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