I cannot find God anywhere-- in front or back of me,
to my left or my right. God is always at work, though I never see him.
When God does nothing, can any person or nation find fault with him?
he will surely deny your impatient request to face him in court.
God walks right past me, without making a sound.
Why are you far away, LORD? Why do you hide yourself when I am in trouble?
and with your powerful arm you protect me from every side.
People of Israel, your God is a mystery, though he alone can save.
Only God lives forever! And he lives in light that no one can come near. No human has ever seen God or ever can see him. God will be honored, and his power will last forever. Amen.
