O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.
Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?
Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.
Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.
Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.
But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
