144:5 O Lord, make the sky sink 1 and come down! 2
Touch the mountains and make them smolder! 3
64:1 (63:19b) 4 If only you would tear apart the sky 5 and come down!
The mountains would tremble 6 before you!
64:2 (64:1) As when fire ignites dry wood,
or fire makes water boil,
let your adversaries know who you are, 7
and may the nations shake at your presence!
64:3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise, 8
you came down, and the mountains trembled 9 before you.
