64:2 (64:1) As when fire ignites dry wood,
or fire makes water boil,
let your adversaries know who you are, 1
and may the nations shake at your presence!
64:3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise, 2
you came down, and the mountains trembled 3 before you.
1 tn Heb “to make known your name to your adversaries.” Perhaps the infinitive construct with preposition -לְ (lamed) should be construed with “come down” in v. 1a, or subordinated to the following line: “To make known your name to your adversaries, let the nations shake from before you.”
2 tn Heb “[for which] we were not waiting.”
3 tn See the note at v. 1.
