Psalm 71:12

A Conservative Version

O God, be not far from me. O my God, make haste to help me.

See the chapter Copy

Thou have seen it, O LORD. Keep not silence. O LORD, be not far from me.

But I am poor and needy. Make haste to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O LORD. Delay thou not.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.

Why do thou stand afar off, O LORD? Why do thou hide thyself in times of trouble?

Make haste to answer me, O LORD, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.

Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O LORD.

But be thou not far off, O LORD. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me.
