But you, Lord, do not stay far off; my strength, come quickly to help me.
Rise, O Lord, confront and cast them down; rescue my soul from the wicked.
O Lord, how long will you look on? Restore my soul from their destruction, my very life from lions!
Lord, graciously rescue me! Come quickly to help me, Lord!
Do not hide your face from your servant; hasten to answer me, for I am in distress.
Lest someone maul me like a lion, tear my soul apart with no one to deliver.
Graciously rescue me, God! Come quickly to help me, Lord!
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the one who is my associate —oracle of the Lord of hosts. Strike the shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones.
