Psalm 71:12

Good News Translation (US Version)

Don't stay so far away, O God; my God, hurry to my aid!

See the chapter Copy

But you, O Lord, have seen this. So don't be silent, Lord; don't keep yourself far away!

I am weak and poor; come to me quickly, O God. You are my savior and my Lord— hurry to my aid!

Do not stay away from me! Trouble is near, and there is no one to help.

Why are you so far away, O Lord? Why do you hide yourself when we are in trouble?

Answer me now, Lord! I have lost all hope. Don't hide yourself from me, or I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.

Come to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.

Save me, Lord! Help me now!

O Lord, don't stay away from me! Come quickly to my rescue!
