As when the meltingfireburneth, the firecauseth the waters to boil, to make thy nameknown to thineadversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neitherhath the eye seen, O God, besidethee, what he hathprepared for him thatwaiteth for him.
Thoumeetest him thatrejoiceth and workethrighteousness, thosethatrememberthee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we havesinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
But we are all as an uncleanthing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthyrags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, havetaken us away.
And there is nonethatcallethupon thy name, thatstirreth up himself to takehold of thee: for thouhast hid thy facefrom us, and hastconsumed us, because of our iniquities.
