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 tested 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 justice is before him; therefore you must trust in him.
Lo, 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 forever? shall your anger burn like fire?
Verily you are a God that hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
