Prayer
for Mercy and Help |

 |
| Isaiah 64:1 |
|
Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come
down, That the mountains might quake at Your presence-- |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 64:2 |
|
As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes
water to boil-- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations
may tremble at Your presence! |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 64:3 |
|
When You did awesome things which we did not
expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 64:4 |
|
For from days of old they have not heard or
perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of
the one who waits for Him. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 64:5 |
|
You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry, for we sinned, We continued
in them a long time; And shall we be saved? |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 64:6 |
|
For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like
a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 64:7 |
|
There is no one who calls on Your name, Who
arouses himself to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us And
have delivered us into the power of our iniquities. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 64:8 |
|
But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are
the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 64:9 |
|
Do not be angry beyond measure, O LORD, Nor
remember iniquity forever; Behold, look now, all of us are Your people. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 64:10 |
|
Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion
has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 64:11 |
|
Our holy and beautiful house, Where our fathers
praised You, Has been burned by fire; And all our precious things have become
a ruin. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 64:12 |
|
Will You restrain Yourself at these things,
O LORD? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure? |
