Face » God's hidden » God's face hidden on account of sin
But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers.
No one invokes your name, or makes an effort to take hold of you. For you have rejected us and handed us over to our own sins.
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I look the other way; when you offer your many prayers, I do not listen, because your hands are covered with blood.
But I will certainly hide myself at that time because of all the wickedness they will have done by turning to other gods.
The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile due to their iniquity, for they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies; all of them died by the sword.
Someday these sinners will cry to the Lord for help, but he will not answer them. He will hide his face from them at that time, because they have done such wicked deeds."

Oppression » Prayers against
Like a swallow or a thrush I chirp, I coo like a dove; my eyes grow tired from looking up to the sky. O sovereign master, I am oppressed; help me!
Deliver me from oppressive men, so that I can keep your precepts.
Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill.
