Do not abandon me, O Lord. O my God, do not be so distant from me.
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away from helping me, so far away from the words of my groaning?
Do not be so far away from me. Trouble is near, and there is no one to help.
Do not be so far away, O Lord. Come quickly to help me, O my strength.
The Lord has not despised or been disgusted with the plight of the oppressed one. He has not hidden his face from that person. The Lord heard when that oppressed person cried out to him for help.
I am devastated because they pay me back with evil instead of good.
