²⁴ Why do you hide your face
    and count me as your enemy?

13 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
    How long will you hide your face from me?

⁹     Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
    O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
    O God of my salvation!

⁷ By your favor, O Lord,
    you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face;
    I was dismayed.

²⁴ Why do you hide your face?
    Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?

¹⁷ Hide not your face from your servant,
    for I am in distress; make haste to answer me.

¹⁴ O Lord, why do you cast my soul away?
    Why do you hide your face from me?

² Do not hide your face from me
    in the day of my distress!
Incline your ear to me;
    answer me speedily in the day when I call!

²⁹ When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
    when you take away their breath, they die
    and return to their dust.

¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
¹² even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.
