Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive Him;
to the left where He works, but I cannot see; He turns to the right, but I do not see Him.
And He gives rest, and who can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him? Even it may be against a nation and a man together,
How much less when you say you do not regard Him! Judgment is before Him, and you are waiting for Him.
Behold, He goes by me, and I do not see Him; and He passes on, but I do not perceive Him.
Why do You stand far away, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?
You have closed me in behind, and in front, and Your palm is laid on me.
Truly, You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
the only One having immortality, living in light that cannot be approached, whom no one of men saw, nor can see; to whom be honor and everlasting might. Amen.
