⁸ When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

⁴ Seek the Lord and His strength;
^(A)Seek His face evermore!

⁵⁸ I entreated Your favor with my whole heart;
Be merciful to me according to Your word.

⁶ This is Jacob, the generation of those who ^(A)seek Him,
Who seek Your face. Selah

¹⁹ I have not spoken in ^(A)secret,
In a dark place of the earth;
I did not say to the seed of Jacob,
‘Seek Me ^[a]in vain’;
^(B)I, the Lord, speak righteousness,
I declare things that are right.

63 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
^(B)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
² So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see ^(C)Your power and Your glory.

¹⁵ I will return again to My place
Till they ^[a]acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
