Oh drawnearto my soul[and] redeemit; Ransomme becauseof my enemies!
He has sentredemptionto His people;He has ordainedHis covenantforever;Holyand awesomeis His name.
But You, O LORD,be not faroff; O You my help,hastento my assistance.
My God,my God,whyhave You forsakenme? Farfrom my deliveranceare the wordsof my groaning.
"O Hopeof Israel,Its Saviorin timeof distress,Whyare You like a strangerin the landOr like a travelerwho has pitchedhis [tent] for the night?
But Godwill redeemmy soulfrom the powerof Sheol,For He will receiveme. Selah.
Into Your handI commitmy spirit;You have ransomedme, O LORD,Godof truth.
Why do You standafaroff, O LORD?Why do You hide[Yourself] in timesof trouble?
Or, 'Deliverme from the handof the adversary,'Or, 'Redeemme from the handof the tyrants'?
"For the Canaanitesand allthe inhabitantsof the landwill hearof it, and they will surroundus and cutoffour namefrom the earth.And whatwill You dofor Your greatname?"
Had I not fearedthe provocationby the enemy,That their adversarieswould misjudge,That they would say,"Our handis triumphant,And the LORDhas not doneallthis."'
Manybullshave surroundedme; Strong[bulls] of Bashanhave encircledme.
Delivermy soulfrom the sword,My only[life] from the powerof the dog.
Do not hideYour facefrom me, Do not turnYour servantawayin anger;You have beenmy help;Do not abandonme norforsakeme, O Godof my salvation!
Answerme quickly,O LORD,my spiritfails;Do not hideYour facefrom me, Or I will becomelikethose who godownto the pit.
You drewnearwhenI calledon You; You said,"Do not fear!"
