'Hide Your Face' in the Bible
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?
Do not hide Your face from me,Do not turn Your servant away in anger;You have been my help;Do not abandon me nor forsake me,O God of my salvation!
Why do You hide Your faceAnd forget our affliction and our oppression?
Hide Your face from my sinsAnd blot out all my iniquities.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant,For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
O Lord, why do You reject my soul?Why do You hide Your face from me?
Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress;Incline Your ear to me;In the day when I call answer me quickly.
You hide Your face, they are dismayed;You take away their spirit, they expireAnd return to their dust.
Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;Do not hide Your face from me,Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
