KJV + Strong's Prayer for Illustration of God's Power 1Ohthat thou wouldest rendthe heavens,that thou wouldest come down,that the mountainsmight flow downat thy presence, 2As [when] the meltingfireburneth,the firecauseth the watersto boil,to make thy nameknownto thine adversaries,[that] the nationsmay trembleat thy presence! 3When thou didstterrible things[which] we lookednot for, thou camest down,the mountainsflowed downat thy presence. 4For since the beginning of the world[men] have not heard,nor perceived by the ear,neither hath the eyeseen,O God,besidethee, [what] he hath preparedfor him that waitethfor him. 5Thou meetesthim that rejoicethand workethrighteousness,[those that] rememberthee in thy ways:behold, thou art wroth;for we have sinned:in those is continuance,and we shall be saved. 6But we are all as an unclean[thing], and all our righteousnesses[are] as filthyrags;and we all do fade{08676;01101:08686} as a leaf;and our iniquities,like the wind,have taken us away. 7And [there is] none that callethupon thy name,that stirreth uphimself to take holdof thee: for thou hast hidthy facefrom us, and hast consumedus, becauseof our iniquities. 8But now, O LORD,thou [art] our father;we [are] the clay,and thou our potter;and we all [are] the workof thy hand. 9Be not wrothvery sore,O LORD,neither rememberiniquityfor ever:behold, see,we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people. 10Thy holycitiesare a wilderness,Zionis a wilderness,Jerusalema desolation. 11Our holyand our beautifulhouse,where our fatherspraisedthee, is burned upwith fire:and all our pleasant thingsare laid waste. 12Wilt thou refrainthyself for these [things], O LORD?wilt thou hold thy peace,and afflictus very sore? |
