Job 23:8

“Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

“Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him;
Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.

“How much less when you say you do not behold Him,
The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

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?

Truly, You are a God who hides Himself,
O God of Israel, Savior!

who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
