20  And he said, ^a‘I will hide my face from them;

I will see what their end will be,

for they are a perverse generation,

children in whom is no faithfulness.

7  By your favor, O Lord,

you made my ^gmountain stand strong;

you ^hhid your face;

I was ⁱdismayed.

29  When you ^ehide your face, they are ^fdismayed;

when you ^gtake away their breath, they die

and ^hreturn to their dust.

7  ^xThere is no one who calls upon your name,

who rouses himself to take hold of you;

for you have hidden your face from us,

and have made us melt in¹ the hand of our iniquities.

2  ^cbut your iniquities have made a separation

between you and your God,

and your sins have hidden his face from you

so that he does not hear.
