Midrash Tehillim
How long will you forget me forever? Rabbi Chanina said: The former Knesset Israel said to God: You fought our wars, as it is said: "For then the Lord went out before you" (2 Samuel 5:24). And even for future generations, you will do so, as it is said: "And the Lord will go out and fight against those nations" (Zechariah 14:3). We have adopted the attitude that "God will not go forth with our armies" (Psalms 60:12). How long, O Lord? God said to them: Have I forgotten you? You have forgotten me, as it is said: "They forgot their savior God" (Psalms 106:21). Have I hidden my face from you? You have hidden your face from me, as it is said: "And they turned their faces away from the Sanctuary of the Lord" (2 Chronicles 29:6) and "And they turned their backs, not their faces, to me" (Jeremiah 32:33). God said to them: In this world I have hidden my face from you, but in the future, as it is said: "For they shall see eye to eye when the Lord returns to Zion" (Isaiah 52:8)....
