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.
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.
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.
