As in the days when God watched over me;

“Then He said, ‘I will hide My face from them,

I will see what their end shall be;

For they are a perverse generation,

Sons in whom is no faithfulness.

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Why do You hide Your face
And forget our affliction and our oppression?

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

O Lord, why do You reject my soul?
Why do You hide Your face from me?

And I will wait for the Lord

who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.

Holdest me

He has gnashed at me with His teeth;
My adversary glares at me.

And considered me as His enemy.

With the might of Your hand You persecute me.

Let the Almighty answer me!

And the indictment which my adversary has written,

‘Behold, He invents pretexts against me;
He counts me as His enemy.

Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the Lord has departed from you and has become your adversary?

The Lord has become like an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel;
He has swallowed up all its palaces,
He has destroyed its strongholds
And multiplied in the daughter of Judah
Mourning and moaning.

Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but

admonish him as a brother.
