Does He not see my waysAnd number all my steps?

Then he will entreat God, and He will accept him,And he will see His face with joyful shouts,And He may restore His righteousness to man.

He has redeemed my soul from passing into the pit,And my life shall see the light.'

Look at the heavens and see;And perceive the clouds—they are higher than you.

"So now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies;But the wind has passed and cleared them.

From there he spies out food;His eyes see it from afar.

When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,The moon and the stars, which You have established;

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh;See my affliction from those who hate me,You who lift me up from the gates of death,

He says in his heart, "God has forgotten;He has hidden His face; He will never see it."

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the sons of menTo see if there is anyone who has insight,Anyone who seeks after God.

For You will not forsake my soul to Sheol;You will not give Your Holy One over to see corruption.

All who see me mock me;They smack their lip, they wag their head, saying,

See my affliction and my trouble,And forgive all my sins.

See my enemies, for they are many,And they hate me with violent hatred.

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of YahwehIn the land of the living.

Among all my adversaries, I have become a reproach,Especially to my neighbors,And an object of dread to my acquaintances;Those who see me in the street flee from me.

O taste and see that Yahweh is good;How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Who is the man who delights in lifeAnd loves many days that he may see good?

For with You is the fountain of life;In Your light we see light.

Hope for Yahweh and keep His way,And He will exalt you to inherit the land;When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
