Psalm 88:14

A Conservative Version

LORD, why do thou cast off my soul? Why do thou hide thy face from me?

See the chapter Copy

Why do thou hide thy face, and reckon me for thine enemy?

How long, O LORD? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

Why do thou hide thy face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

For thou are the God of my strength. Why have thou cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a great voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me?

and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.

But now thou have cast off, and brought us to dishonor, and go not forth with our armies.

For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
