The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

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

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

LORD, do not rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:

For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my supplication.

I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Let God arise. Let his enemies be scattered. Let them who hate him also flee before him.

But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I did not take away.

Deliver me out of the mire, and do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

If I had said, "I will speak thus;" behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.

He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.

How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.

You who love the LORD, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his holy ones. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD looked at the earth;

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore he will lift up his head.

The LORD is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me.

I am a stranger on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me.

HET. The LORD is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I did not forsake your precepts.

Unless your Law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.

Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

SAMEKH. I hate double-minded men, but I love your Law.

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your Law.

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron's beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;

even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

LORD, do I not hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down into the pit.

Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.

for they will be a garland to grace your head, and a necklace around your neck.

She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

"How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

She will give to your head a garland of grace. She will deliver a crown of splendor to you."
