“Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
Yes, He would cross before me, and I would not see Him; He would pass on by, but I would not perceive Him.
He alone has immortality, living in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen, nor can see. To Him be honor and everlasting power. Amen.
Why do You stand far off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
Although you say you do not see Him, yet judgment is before Him, and you must trust in Him.
Truly You are a God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
when He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him; He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him, whether it is done against a nation or against a man only?
You beset me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.
