1 Oh that thou would rend the heavens, that thou would come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,

2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, [and] the fire causes the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

3 When thou did fearful things which we did not look for, thou came down; the mountains quaked at thy presence.

4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides thee, [what] he has prepared for him who waits for him.
