New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, That the mountains might quake at Your presence -
1
Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!
2 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!
2
As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!
3 When You did awesome things which we did not expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.
3
For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
4 For 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.
4
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
