⁸ Behold, I go forward, but he is not `there'; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;

¹¹ Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

¹ Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

¹⁴ How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!

¹⁶ who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom `be' honor and power eternal. Amen.

¹ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

³ Consider `and' answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the `sleep of' death;

¹⁵ Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
