הָיִ֗ינוּ מֵֽעוֹלָם֙ לֹֽא־מָשַׁ֣לְתָּ בָּ֔ם לֹֽא־נִקְרָ֥א שִׁמְךָ֖ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם לוּא־קָרַ֤עְתָּ שָׁמַ֙יִם֙ יָרַ֔דְתָּ מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ הָרִ֥ים נָזֹֽלּוּ׃
On dirait que jamais tu n’as régné sur nous que jamais nous n’avons été désignés de ton nom. Ah! Puisses-tu déchirer les cieux et descendre! Puissent les montagnes s’effondrer devant toi!
Rashi on Isaiah
We were now like a people whom You did not choose ever to rule over them, and it is as though Your name was not called upon them.
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
היינו מעולם וגו' We are like men, over whom Thou hast never ruled.
Rashi on Isaiah
had You rent the heavens and descended to save us now as You descended to save us from the hand of the Egyptians, then, mountains would drip from before You with fear and quaking.
