For the end, A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will You forget me? Forever? How long will You turn away Your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever? Shall Your jealousy burn like fire?

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You continue Your wrath from generation to generation?

Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion concerning Your servants.

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? [Why] do You overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?

Why, O Lord, do You reject my prayer, [and] turn Your face away from me?

When He worked on the left hand, then I observed it not: His right hand shall encompass me but I shall not see it.

And [one] shall say, I will wait for God, who has turned away His face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in Him.

For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Savior.

I will go and return to My place, until they are brought to nought, and [then] shall they seek My face.

Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins mourned not.

Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, you men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest My wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.

O house of David, thus says the Lord: Judge judgment in the morning, and act rightly, and rescue the spoiled one from the hand of him that wrongs him, lest My anger be kindled like fire, and it burn, and there be none to quench [it].

in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For our God is a consuming fire.
