Psalm 38:21

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

You are the LORD God! Stay nearby and don't desert me.

See the chapter Copy

My God, my God, why have you deserted me? Why are you so far away? Won't you listen to my groans and come to my rescue?

Don't stay far off when I am in trouble with no one to help me.

Don't stay far away, LORD! My strength comes from you, so hurry and help.

The LORD doesn't hate or despise the helpless in all their troubles. When I cried out, he listened and did not turn away.

They repay evil for good, and I feel all alone.
