'Off' in the Bible

Why do You stand far away, O Lord?Why do You hide [Yourself, veiling Your eyes] in times of trouble?

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 leave me,O God of my salvation!

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;And my neighbors stand far away.

For You are the God of my strength [my stronghold—in whom I take refuge]; why have You rejected me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

But now You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,And You do not go out with our armies [to lead us to victory].

Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?Awaken, do not reject us forever.

O God, You have rejected us and cast us off. You have broken [down our defenses and scattered] us;You have been angry; O restore us and turn again to us.

By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head;Those who would destroy me are powerful, being my enemies wrongfully;I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

Do not cast me off nor send me away in the time of old age;Do not abandon me when my strength fails and I am weak.

O God, why have You rejected us forever?Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

Will the Lord reject forever?And will He never be favorable again?

O Lord, why do You reject me?Why do You hide Your face from me?

“Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

But [in apparent contradiction of all this] You [the faithful Lord] have cast off and rejected;You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

For the Lord will not abandon His people,Nor will He abandon His inheritance.

Have You not rejected us, O God?And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

I am vanishing like a shadow when it lengthens and fades;I am shaken off like the locust.

All nations encompassed me;In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

They encompassed me, yes, they surrounded me [on every side];In the name of the Lord I will cut them off.

They swarmed around me like bees;They flare up and are extinguished like a fire of thorns;In the name of the Lord I will surely cut them off.

My zeal has [completely] consumed me,Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

But tossed Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea,For His lovingkindness endures forever;

You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];You understand my thought from afar.
