[A Psalm or Song of Asaph.] Keep not silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.
[A Psalm of David.] Unto you will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if you be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
Awake, why sleep you, O Lord? arise, cast us not off forever.
[A Psalm of Asaph.] The mighty God, even the LORD, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and restrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
