Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call.
For he did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted; he did not hide his face from me but heard when I cried to him.
Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger, you who have been my help. Do not cast me off; do not forsake me, O God of my salvation!
To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, do not refuse to hear me, for if you are silent to me, I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God.
Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress—make haste to answer me.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.
But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!

For Sheol cannot thank you; death cannot praise you; those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
For I will not continually accuse, nor will I always be angry, for then the spirits would grow faint before me, even the souls that I have made.
I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.
People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
