Psalms 80:4

Why do you hide your face, and consider me your enemy?

So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.

How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”

David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”

I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.

But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.

that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

Yahweh, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”

For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says Yahweh: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.” ’ ”

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says Yahweh.

You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”

I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.

You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

“Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you and overtake you.

but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

“Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?

Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

Yahweh says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says Yahweh.

He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.

He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.” ’

Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”

They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.

Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?

Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”

Yahweh will not pardon him, but then Yahweh’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?

How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors.

God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.

Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.

Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Yahweh.
