Job 23:8

If I go east, He is not there,
and if I go west, I cannot perceive Him.

If He passes by me, I wouldn’t see Him;
if He goes right by, I wouldn’t recognize Him.

how much less when you complain
that you do not see Him,
that your case is before Him
and you are waiting for Him.

Lord, why do You stand so far away?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.Lord, how long will You forget me?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Yes, You are a God who hides Himself,
God of Israel, Savior.

the only One who has immortality,
dwelling in unapproachable light;
no one has seen or can see Him,
to Him be honor and eternal might.
Amen.

If He passes by me, I wouldn’t see Him;
if He goes right by, I wouldn’t recognize Him.
