Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot see Him;
on the left hand, where He works, but I cannot behold Him. He turns to the right, but I do not see Him.
And He gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who can behold Him? And it may be against a nation and a man together;
How much less when you say you do not see Him! Judgment is before Him; you are waiting for Him.
Behold! He goes by me, and I do not see Him; He passes on also, but I do not perceive Him.
Why do You stand afar off, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of trouble?
You have closed me in behind and in front, and laid Your hand on me.
Truly You are a God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
who alone has immortality, dwelling in light which cannot be approached, whom no one of men have seen, nor can see; to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
