[a]As fire kindles brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the (A)nations may tremble at Your presence!
When You did (B)awesome things which we did not expect,
You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.
For from days of old (C)they have not heard or perceived by ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of one who (D)waits for Him.

  1. Isaiah 64:2 Ch 64:1 in Heb

As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(A) known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake(B) before you!
For when you did awesome(C) things that we did not expect,
    you came down, and the mountains trembled(D) before you.
Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(E)
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(F)
