Isaiah 64 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Prayer for Mercy and Help

Isa 64:1 [fn]Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down,
That the mountains might quake at Your presence—

Isa 64:2 [fn]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!

Isa 64:3

Isa 64:3When You did awesome things which we did not expect,
You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.

Isa 64:4

Isa 64:4For 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.

Isa 64:5

Isa 64:5You 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?

Isa 64:6

Isa 64:6For 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.

Isa 64:7

Isa 64:7There 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 [fn]delivered us into the power of our iniquities.

Isa 64:8

Isa 64:8But 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.

Isa 64:9

Isa 64:9Do not be angry beyond measure, O LORD,
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Behold, look now, all of us are Your people.

Isa 64:10

Isa 64:10Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.

Isa 64:11

Isa 64:11Our holy and beautiful house,
Where our fathers praised You,
Has been burned by fire;
And all our precious things have become a ruin.

Isa 64:12

Isa 64:12Will You restrain Yourself at these things, O LORD?
Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
