Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

{Maschil of Asaph.} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

{To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
