“看哪，我往前走，他不在那里；往后退，也没有察觉他。

“然而，我去东边，祂不在那里；我到西边，也找不到祂。

可是我往前走，他不在那里；我若往后退，我也不能见他。

“ But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him.

“ But if I go to the east, God isn’t there. If I go to the west, I don’t find him.

“ Behold, I go forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I do not perceive him;

who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

Why do You stand far away, Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

Truly, You are a God who hides Himself, God of Israel, Savior!

How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?How long am I to feel anxious in my soul, With grief in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
