on the left hand, where He works, but I cannot behold Him. He turns to the right, but I do not see Him.
And these have You hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You.
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot 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.
How long, Jehovah? Will You hide Yourself forever? Shall Your wrath burn like fire?
Truly You are a God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for Him.
