Lord, don’t leave me. My God, stay close to me.
Lord, don’t leave me! You are my strength—hurry and help me!
He does not ignore those who need help. He does not hate them. He does not turn away from them. He listens when they cry for help.
So don’t leave me! Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me.
My God, my God, why have you left me? You seem too far away to save me, too far to hear my cries for help!
They pay me back evil for the good I have done. They make me so very sad.
