2 ^[1] as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your adversaries, and that the nations might tremble at your presence! (Jos 2,9; Jos 2,10) 3 When you did awesome things that we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence. (2Mo 14,13; 2Mo 15,11) 4 From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. (Ps 31,19; 1Kor 2,9) 5 You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?^[2] 6 We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. (Ps 90,5; Ps 90,6; Jes 59,12) 7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have made us melt in^[3] the hand of our iniquities. (Jes 43,22; Hos 7,7) 8 But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. (Jes 29,23; Jes 45,9; Jes 45,11; Jes 63,16; Röm 9,20; Röm 9,21)
