43 From us poor persecuted men [With wrath] thou coverest thy face; Thy just displeasure hath us slain, Not pitying our [doleful] case.
44 Covered thou art from our access, Enclosed in a [darksome] cloud, Which prayers do not penetrate, Though suffering make them [long and] loud.
44 Cover'd thou art from our access, Inclosed in a [darksome] cloud, Which prayers do not penetrate, Though suff'ring make them [long and] loud.
