⁷ Lord, when you favored me,
    you made my royal mountain^[a] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,^(A)
    I was dismayed.

²⁹ When you hide your face,^(A)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.^(B)

⁷ Answer me quickly,^(A) Lord;
    my spirit fails.^(B)
Do not hide your face^(C) from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

¹⁷ Surely it was for my benefit^(A)
    that I suffered such anguish.^(B)
In your love you kept me
    from the pit^(C) of destruction;
you have put all my sins^(D)
    behind your back.^(E)

¹⁰ because of your great wrath,^(A)
    for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.

¹⁷ For you are their glory and strength,^(A)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.^[a](B)
