⁸ To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

⁴ Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

¹² `And ye have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed unto Me, and I have hearkened unto you,

¹³ And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with all your heart;

⁵⁸ I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.

⁶ This `is' a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

¹ A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou `art' my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

² So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,

⁷ Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

¹⁹ Not in secret have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I `am' Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.

¹⁵ I go -- I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
