64 1 The Prophet prayeth for the sins of the people. 6 Man’s righteousness is like a filthy cloth.

Oh, that thou wouldest [a]break the heavens, and come down, and that the mountains might melt at thy presence!

As the melting fire burned, as the fire caused [b]the waters to boil, (that thou mightest declare thy Name to thine adversaries) the people did tremble at thy presence.

When thou didst terrible things, which we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains melted at thy presence.
