*Do Not Hide Your Face from Me*

A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD.

\[1\] Hear my prayer, O LORD;

let my cry come to you!

\[2\] Do not hide your face from me

in the day of my distress!

Incline your ear to me;

answer me speedily in the day when I call!

\[3\] For my days pass away like smoke,

and my bones burn like a furnace.

\[4\] My heart is struck down like grass and has withered;

I forget to eat my bread.

\[5\] Because of my loud groaning

my bones cling to my flesh.

\[6\] I am like a desert owl of the wilderness,

like an owl of the waste places;

\[7\] I lie awake;

I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.

\[8\] All the day my enemies taunt me;

those who deride me use my name for a curse.

\[9\] For I eat ashes like bread

and mingle tears with my drink,

\[10\] because of your indignation and anger;

for you have taken me up and thrown me down.

\[11\] My days are like an evening shadow;

I wither away like grass.

\[12\] But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever;

you are remembered throughout all generations.

\[13\] You will arise and have pity on Zion;

it is the time to favor her;

the appointed time has come.

\[14\] For your servants hold her stones dear

and have pity on her dust.

\[15\] Nations will fear the name of the LORD,

and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

\[16\] For the LORD builds up Zion;

he appears in his glory;

\[17\] he regards the prayer of the destitute

and does not despise their prayer.

\[18\] Let this be recorded for a generation to come,

so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:

\[19\] that he looked down from his holy height;

from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,

\[20\] to hear the groans of the prisoners,

to set free those who were doomed to die,

\[21\] that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD,

and in Jerusalem his praise,

\[22\] when peoples gather together,

and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.

\[23\] He has broken my strength in midcourse;

he has shortened my days.

\[24\] “O my God,” I say, “take me not away

in the midst of my days—

you whose years endure

throughout all generations!”

\[25\] Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of your hands.

\[26\] They will perish, but you will remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,

\[27\] but you are the same, and your years have no end.

\[28\] The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.

*Bless the LORD, O My Soul*

Of David.

\[1\] Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

\[2\] Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits,

\[3\] who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

\[4\] who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

\[5\] who satisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

\[6\] The LORD works righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

\[7\] He made known his ways to Moses,

his acts to the people of Israel.

\[8\] The LORD is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

\[9\] He will not always chide,

nor will he keep his anger forever.

\[10\] He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

\[11\] For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

\[12\] as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

\[13\] As a father shows compassion to his children,

so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.

\[14\] For he knows our frame;

he remembers that we are dust.

\[15\] As for man, his days are like grass;

he flourishes like a flower of the field;

\[16\] for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

and its place knows it no more.

\[17\] But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,

and his righteousness to children’s children,

\[18\] to those who keep his covenant

and remember to do his commandments.

\[19\] The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,

and his kingdom rules over all.

\[20\] Bless the LORD, O you his angels,

you mighty ones who do his word,

obeying the voice of his word!

\[21\] Bless the LORD, all his hosts,

his ministers, who do his will!

\[22\] Bless the LORD, all his works,

in all places of his dominion.

Bless the LORD, O my soul! (ESV)
