D&C 121
O
God,
a
where
art
thou?
And
where
is
the
pavilion
that
covereth
thy
b
hiding
place?
2
a
How
long
shall
thy
hand
be
stayed,
and
thine
eye,
yea
thy
pure
eye,
behold
from
the
eternal
heavens
the
wrongs
of
thy
people
and
of
thy
servants,
and
thine
ear
be
penetrated
with
their
cries?
3 Yea,
O
Lord,
a
how
long
shall
they
suffer
these
wrongs
and
unlawful
b
oppressions,
before
thine
heart
shall
be
softened
toward
them,
and
thy
bowels
be
moved
with
c
compassion
toward
them?
4 O
Lord
God
a
Almighty,
maker
of
b
heaven,
earth,
and
seas,
and
of
all
things
that
in
them
are,
and
who
controllest
and
subjectest
the
devil,
and
the
dark
and
benighted
dominion
of
Sheol—stretch
forth
thy
hand;
let
thine
eye
pierce;
let
thy
c
pavilion
be
taken
up;
let
thy
d
hiding
place
no
longer
be
covered;
let
thine
ear
be
inclined;
let
thine
e
heart
be
softened,
and
thy
bowels
moved
with
compassion
toward
us.
5 Let
thine
a
anger
be
kindled
against
our
enemies;
and,
in
the
fury
of
thine
heart,
with
thy
b
sword
c
avenge
us
of
our
wrongs.
6 Remember
thy
a
suffering
saints,
O
our
God;
and
thy
servants
will
rejoice
in
thy
name
forever.
7 My
son,
a
peace
be
unto
thy
soul;
thine
b
adversity
and
thine
afflictions
shall
be
but
a
c
small
moment;
8 And
then,
if
thou
a
endure
it
well,
God
shall
exalt
thee
on
high;
thou
shalt
triumph
over
all
thy
b
foes.
9 Thy
a
friends
do
stand
by
thee,
and
they
shall
hail
thee
again
with
warm
hearts
and
friendly
hands.
10 Thou
art
not
yet
as
Job;
thy
a
friends
do
not
contend
against
thee,
neither
charge
thee
with
transgression,
as
they
did
Job.
11 And
they
who
do
charge
thee
with
transgression,
their
hope
shall
be
blasted,
and
their
prospects
shall
a
melt
away
as
the
hoar
frost
melteth
before
the
burning
rays
of
the
rising
sun;
12 And
also
that
God
hath
set
his
hand
and
seal
to
change
the
a
times
and
seasons,
and
to
blind
their
b
minds,
that
they
may
not
understand
his
c
marvelous
workings;
that
he
may
d
prove
them
also
and
take
them
in
their
own
craftiness;
13 Also
because
their
hearts
are
corrupted,
and
the
things
which
they
are
willing
to
bring
upon
others,
and
love
to
have
others
suffer,
may
come
upon
a
themselves
to
the
very
uttermost;
14 That
they
may
be
a
disappointed
also,
and
their
hopes
may
be
cut
off;
15 And
not
many
years
hence,
that
they
and
their
a
posterity
shall
be
b
swept
from
under
heaven,
saith
God,
that
not
one
of
them
is
left
to
stand
by
the
wall.
16
a
Cursed
are
all
those
that
shall
lift
up
the
b
heel
against
mine
c
anointed,
saith
the
Lord,
and
cry
they
have
d
sinned
when
they
have
not
sinned
before
me,
saith
the
Lord,
but
have
done
that
which
was
meet
in
mine
eyes,
and
which
I
commanded
them.
17 But
a
those
who
cry
transgression
do
it
because
they
are
the
servants
of
sin,
and
are
the
b
children
of
disobedience
themselves.
18 And
those
who
a
swear
b
falsely
against
my
servants,
that
they
might
bring
them
into
bondage
and
death—
19 Wo
unto
them;
because
they
have
a
offended
my
little
ones
they
shall
be
severed
from
the
b
ordinances
of
mine
house.
20 Their
a
basket
shall
not
be
full,
their
houses
and
their
barns
shall
perish,
and
they
themselves
shall
be
b
despised
by
those
that
flattered
them.
21 They
shall
not
have
right
to
the
a
priesthood,
nor
their
posterity
after
them
from
generation
to
generation.
22 It
had
been
a
better
for
them
that
a
millstone
had
been
hanged
about
their
necks,
and
they
drowned
in
the
depth
of
the
sea.
23 Wo
unto
all
those
that
a
discomfort
my
people,
and
drive,
and
b
murder,
and
testify
against
them,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts;
a
c
generation
of
vipers
shall
not
escape
the
damnation
of
hell.
24 Behold,
mine
eyes
a
see
and
know
all
their
works,
and
I
have
in
reserve
a
swift
b
judgment
in
the
season
thereof,
for
them
all;
25 For
there
is
a
a
time
b
appointed
for
every
man,
according
as
his
c
works
shall
be.
26 God
shall
give
unto
you
a
knowledge
by
his
b
Holy
b
Spirit,
yea,
by
the
unspeakable
c
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
that
has
not
been
d
revealed
since
the
world
was
until
now;
27 Which
our
forefathers
have
awaited
with
a
anxious
expectation
to
be
revealed
in
the
last
times,
which
their
minds
were
pointed
to
by
the
angels,
as
held
in
reserve
for
the
fulness
of
their
glory;
28 A
time
to
come
in
the
which
a
nothing
shall
be
withheld,
whether
there
be
b
one
God
or
many
c
gods,
they
shall
be
manifest.
29 All
thrones
and
dominions,
principalities
and
powers,
shall
be
a
revealed
and
set
forth
upon
all
who
have
endured
b
valiantly
for
the
gospel
of
Jesus
Christ.
30 And
also,
if
there
be
a
bounds
set
to
the
heavens
or
to
the
seas,
or
to
the
dry
land,
or
to
the
sun,
moon,
or
stars—
31 All
the
times
of
their
revolutions,
all
the
appointed
days,
months,
and
years,
and
all
the
days
of
their
days,
months,
and
years,
and
all
their
a
glories,
laws,
and
set
times,
shall
be
revealed
in
the
days
of
the
b
dispensation
of
the
fulness
of
times—
32 According
to
that
which
was
a
ordained
in
the
midst
of
the
b
Council
of
the
Eternal
c
God
of
all
other
gods
before
this
d
world
was,
that
should
be
reserved
unto
the
finishing
and
the
end
thereof,
when
every
man
shall
enter
into
his
eternal
e
presence
and
into
his
immortal
f
rest.
33 How
long
can
rolling
waters
remain
impure?
What
a
power
shall
stay
the
heavens?
As
well
might
man
stretch
forth
his
puny
arm
to
stop
the
Missouri
river
in
its
decreed
course,
or
to
turn
it
up
stream,
as
to
b
hinder
the
c
Almighty
from
pouring
down
d
knowledge
from
heaven
upon
the
heads
of
the
Latter-day
Saints.
34 Behold,
there
are
many
a
called,
but
few
are
chosen.
And
why
are
they
not
chosen?
35 Because
their
a
hearts
are
set
so
much
upon
the
things
of
this
b
world,
and
c
aspire
to
the
d
honors
of
men,
that
they
do
not
learn
this
one
lesson—
36 That
the
a
rights
of
the
priesthood
are
inseparably
connected
with
the
powers
of
heaven,
and
that
the
powers
of
heaven
cannot
be
b
controlled
nor
handled
only
upon
the
c
principles
of
righteousness.
37 That
they
may
be
conferred
upon
us,
it
is
true;
but
when
we
undertake
to
a
cover
our
b
sins,
or
to
gratify
our
c
pride,
our
vain
ambition,
or
to
exercise
control
or
d
dominion
or
compulsion
upon
the
souls
of
the
children
of
men,
in
any
degree
of
unrighteousness,
behold,
the
heavens
e
withdraw
themselves;
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
grieved;
and
when
it
is
withdrawn,
Amen
to
the
priesthood
or
the
authority
of
that
man.
38 Behold,
ere
he
is
aware,
he
is
left
unto
himself,
to
a
kick
against
the
pricks,
to
b
persecute
the
saints,
and
to
c
fight
against
God.
39 We
have
learned
by
sad
experience
that
it
is
the
a
nature
and
disposition
of
almost
all
men,
as
soon
as
they
get
a
little
b
authority,
as
they
suppose,
they
will
immediately
begin
to
exercise
c
unrighteous
dominion.
40 Hence
many
are
called,
but
a
few
are
chosen.
41 No
a
power
or
influence
can
or
ought
to
be
maintained
by
virtue
of
the
b
priesthood,
only
by
c
persuasion,
by
d
long-suffering,
by
gentleness
and
meekness,
and
by
love
unfeigned;
42 By
a
kindness,
and
pure
b
knowledge,
which
shall
greatly
enlarge
the
c
soul
without
d
hypocrisy,
and
without
e
guile—
43
a
Reproving
betimes
with
b
sharpness,
when
c
moved
upon
by
the
Holy
Ghost;
and
then
showing
forth
afterwards
an
increase
of
d
love
toward
him
whom
thou
hast
reproved,
lest
he
esteem
thee
to
be
his
enemy;
44 That
he
may
know
that
thy
faithfulness
is
stronger
than
the
cords
of
a
death.
45 Let
thy
a
bowels
also
be
full
of
charity
towards
all
men,
and
to
the
household
of
faith,
and
let
b
virtue
garnish
thy
thoughts
unceasingly;
then
shall
thy
c
confidence
wax
strong
in
the
d
presence
of
God;
and
the
doctrine
of
the
priesthood
shall
distil
upon
thy
soul
as
the
e
dews
from
heaven.
46 The
Holy
Ghost
shall
be
thy
constant
a
companion,
and
thy
scepter
an
unchanging
scepter
of
b
righteousness
and
truth;
and
thy
c
dominion
shall
be
an
everlasting
dominion,
and
without
compulsory
means
it
shall
flow
unto
thee
forever
and
ever.
