Prayer For Mercy

1 O that thou wouldest cleave the heaven in sunder, and come down: that the mountains might melt away at thy presence, 2 like as at a hot fire; that the malicious might boil away, as the water doth upon the fire. Whereby thy name might be known among thine enemies, and that the Gentiles might tremble before thee. 3 When thou wroughtest wondrous strange works, we looked not for them: thou camest down and the hills melted at thy presence.
