A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Keep not silence, O God; do not be speechless, and be not still, O God.
A Psalm of David. I will cry to You, O Jehovah; my Rock, do not be deaf to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.
You have seen, O Jehovah; do not keep silence; O Jehovah, do not be far from me.
Awaken! Why do You sleep, O Jehovah? Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, Jehovah, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down.
Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very stormy all around Him.
I have kept silence from forever; I have been still and refrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in pangs of labor, I will pant and gasp at once.
