O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
You have seen, O Lord; be not silent! O Lord, be not far from me!
Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.
Why, O Lord, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me! Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!
Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies!
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me!
But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
