Why hide you your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
Why hide you your face, and hold me for your enemy?
Why stand you afar off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] How long will you forget me, O LORD? forever? how long will you hide your face from me?
Stir up yourself, and awake to my defense, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
I will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor forever.
Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are you not him who has cut Rahab, and wounded the sea monster?
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faith.
