Indeed, the LORD is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright will see him face-to-face. To the Director: On an eight stringed harp. A Davidic Psalm.

My mind recalls your word, "Seek my face," so your face, LORD, I will seek.

For he does not despise nor detest the afflicted person; he does not hide his face from him, but he hears him when he cries out to him."

This is the generation that seeks him. Those who seek your face are the true seed of Jacob. Interlude

Do not hide your face from me; do not turn away in anger from your servant. You have been my help, therefore do not abandon or forsake me, God of my salvation.

By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed.

May your face shine on your servant; in your gracious love, deliver me.

The wicked say to themselves, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."

How long? LORD, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

But as for me, justified, I will behold your face; when I awake, your presence will satisfy me. To the Director: By the servant of the LORD, David, who spoke the words of this song to the LORD on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

It was not with their sword that they inherited the land, nor did their own arm deliver them. But it was by your power, your strength, and by the light of your face; because you were pleased with them.

My dishonor tortures me continuously; the shame on my face overwhelms me

Why are you hiding your face? Why are you ignoring our affliction and oppression?

The face of the LORD is set against those who do evil, and he will remove people's recollection of them from the earth.

Do not hide your face from me when I am in trouble. Listen to me. When I call to out you, hurry to answer me!

Why, LORD, have you rejected me? Why have you hidden your face from me?

like wine that makes the heart of people happy, oil that makes the face glow, and food that sustains people.

Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face continually.
