15 Turn thou from heaven, and see from thy holy house, and (thy) glory: where is thy jealousy and thy might? where is the abundance of thy mercy and thy pitifulness, that thou didst bear with us?
16 Thou art our father; for Abraham knew us not, and Israel recognized us not; but thou, Lord, art our father; deliver us, thy name is among us from the beginning.
17 Why didst thou make us to wander, Lord, from thy way? didst harden our hearts, that we should not fear thee? turn unto us, for the sake of thy bondmen, for the sake of the tribes of thine inheritance,
18 That we may inherit a little of thy holy mountain: our adversaries trode down thy sanctuary.
19 We are become as at the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, neither was thy name called upon us.
64 1 If thou openest the heaven, trembling shall seize the mountains before thee, and they shall melt,
2 As wax melteth from before the fire; and fire shall burn up thine enemies, and the name of the Lord shall be manifest among thine enemies; from before thy face shall nations be confounded,
3 When thou doest thy glorious deeds; trembling shall seize the mountains before thee.
4 From everlasting have we not heard, nor have our eyes seen [[any God except thee]], and thy works which thou wilt do to them that wait for mercy.
5 For he will meet them that do righteousness, and they shall remember thy ways. Behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: therefore we strayed,
6 And we all became as unclean, all our righteousness as filthy rags; and we fell away like leaves because of our transgressions; so shall a wind bear us away.
7 And there is none that calleth on thy name, or remembereth to lay hold upon thee; for thou didst turn thy face away from us, and didst deliver us over because of our transgressions.
8 And now, O Lord, thou art our father; and we are clay, all (are) the works of thy hands.
9 Be not wroth with us exceedingly, and remember not all our sins betimes; and now look upon us, for we are all thy people.
10 Thy city of the Holy One, Zion, is become desert; Jerusalem is become as a desert: turned to a curse
11 Is the house, our holy place: and the glory which our fathers blessed is burnt with fire, and all (our) glorious things are fallen together.
12 And for all this thou didst refrain, O Lord, and heldest thy peace, and didst humble us exceedingly.
