Why do You stand afar off, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?

You have seen this, O Jehovah; do not keep silent; O Jehovah, do not be far from me.

Jehovah is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, that He will not hear.

Though they raise their sons, yet I will make them childless, until not a man is left. Yea, woe also to them when I turn away from them!

This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet you to speak with you.

And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and it shall be honored by My glory.

But from there you will seek Jehovah your God, and you shall find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David besought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah answered, It is because of Saul and his bloody house, because he had killed the Gibeonites.

When You say, Seek My face, my heart has said unto You, Your face, O Jehovah, I will seek.

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.

Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
