On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.
But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
Although you say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in him.
See, he goes by me, and I see him not: he passes on also, but I perceive him not.
How long, LORD? will you hide yourself for ever? shall your wrath burn like fire?
Truly you are a God that hide yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
And I will wait on the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
