²⁴ Why ^(A)do you hide your face?
    Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?

¹⁷ Because of the iniquity of his ^(A)unjust gain I was angry,
    I struck him; I hid my face and was angry,
    but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.

^13 (A)I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off,
    and my salvation will not delay;
^(B)I will put salvation in Zion,
    for Israel my glory.”

¹⁹ Your ^(A)way was through the sea,
    your path through the great waters;
    yet your footprints ^(B)were unseen.^[a]

¹⁷ But Israel is saved by the Lord
    with everlasting salvation;
^(A)you shall not be put to shame or confounded
    to all eternity.
