| 1 |
utinam disrumperes caelos et descenderes a facie tua montes defluerent
O that thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down: the mountains would melt away at thy presence.
|
| 2 |
sicut exustio ignis tabescerent aquae arderent igni ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis a facie tua gentes turbarentur
They would melt as at the burning of fire, the waters would burn with fire, that thy name might be made known to thy enemies: that the nations might tremble at thy presence.
|
| 3 |
cum feceris mirabilia non sustinebimus descendisti et a facie tua montes defluxerunt
When thou shalt do wonderful things, we shall not bear them: thou didst come down, and at thy presence the mountains melted away.
|
| 4 |
a saeculo non audierunt neque auribus perceperunt oculus non vidit Deus absque te quae praeparasti expectantibus te
From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee.
|
| 5 |
occurristi laetanti et facienti iustitiam in viis tuis recordabuntur tui ecce tu iratus es et peccavimus in ipsis fuimus semper et salvabimur
Thou hast met him that rejoiceth, and doth justice: in thy ways they shall remember thee: behold thou art angry, and we have sinned: in them we have been always, and we shall be saved.
|
| 6 |
et facti sumus ut inmundus omnes nos quasi pannus menstruatae universae iustitiae nostrae et cecidimus quasi folium universi et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos
And we are all become as one unclean, and all our justices as the rag of a menstruous woman: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
|
| 7 |
non est qui invocet nomen tuum qui consurgat et teneat te abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis et adlisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae
There is none that calleth upon thy name: that riseth up, and taketh hold of thee: thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hand of our iniquity.
|
| 8 |
et nunc Domine pater noster es tu nos vero lutum et fictor noster et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos
And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands.
|
| 9 |
ne irascaris Domine satis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis ecce respice populus tuus omnes nos
Be not very angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold, see we are all thy people.
|
| 10 |
civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata
The city of thy sanctuary is become a desert, Sion is made a desert, Jerusalem is desolate.
|
| 11 |
domus sanctificationis nostrae et gloriae nostrae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri facta est in exustionem ignis et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas
The house of our holiness, and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire, and all our lovely things are turned into ruins.
|
| 12 |
numquid super his continebis te Domine tacebis et adfliges nos vehementer
Wilt thou refrain thyself, O Lord, upon these things, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us vehemently?
