1 Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, -that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

2 -as fire kindleth brushwood, as the fire causeth water to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at thy presence!

3 When thou didst terrible things {which} we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

4 Never have {men} heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor hath eye seen a God beside thee, who acteth for him that waiteth for him.
