O GOD of my praise! Keep not silence,
You are my God, and I will confess, praise, and give thanks to You; You are my God, I will extol You.
UNTO YOU do I cry, O Lord my Rock, be not deaf and silent to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those going down to the pit [the grave].
KEEP NOT silence, O God; hold not Your peace or be still, O God.
For, behold, Your enemies are in tumult, and those who hate You have raised their heads. [Acts 4:25, 26.]
The Lord is my Strength and my Song, and He has become my Salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
[Thus says the Lord] I have for a long time held My peace, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry out like a woman in travail, I will gasp and pant together.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise.
He is your praise; He is your God, Who has done for you these great and terrible things which your eyes have seen.
