Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. {lest...: or, for I am become like, etc}

For his anger {endureth but} a moment; in his favour {is} life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy {cometh} in the morning. {his anger...: Heb. there is but a moment in his anger} {for a night: Heb. in the evening} {joy: Heb. singing}

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, {and} established my goings. {an...: Heb. a pit of noise}

Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul {delivered it} from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. {for peace...: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in...: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}

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? {befall: Heb. find}

For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as {with} a shield. {compass: Heb. crown}

For thou {art} the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. {thy gentleness...: or, with thy meekness thou hast multiplied me}

For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? {why} hidest thou {thyself} in times of trouble?

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

When I looked for good, then evil came {unto me}: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? {chief...: or, overseer}

Blessed {are} they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

[A Song of degrees.] In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? {why} hidest thou {thyself} in times of trouble?

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue {loosed}, and he spake, and praised God.

When the Almighty {was} yet with me, {when} my children {were} about me;

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth {his} face, who then can behold him? whether {it be done} against a nation, or against a man only:

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

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? {befall: Heb. find}

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, {and} was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
