'Hide Your Face' in the Bible
Why do You hide Your faceand consider me Your enemy?
For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.Lord, how long will You forget me?Forever?How long will You hide Your face from me?
Do not hide Your face from me;do not turn Your servant away in anger.You have been my helper;do not leave me or abandon me,God of my salvation.
Don’t hide Your face from Your servant,for I am in distress.Answer me quickly!
Lord, why do You reject me?Why do You hide Your face from me?
Do not hide Your face from me in my day of trouble.Listen closely to me;answer me quickly when I call.
When You hide Your face,they are terrified;when You take away their breath,they die and return to the dust.
Answer me quickly, Lord;my spirit fails.Don’t hide Your face from me,or I will be like thosegoing down to the Pit.
