O Yahweh, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
“Why then do You not forgive my transgression And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will seek me earnestly, but I will not be.”
O Yahweh, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!
¶Answer me quickly, O Yahweh, my spirit wastes away; Do not hide Your face from me, Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
¶But You, O Yahweh, be not far off; O my Strength, hasten to my help.
Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
¶Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me; Make haste, O Yahweh, to help me.
Let those be ashamed and humiliated Who seek my life; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in evil against me.
But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my protector; O Yahweh, do not delay.
¶O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help!
