A song; a psalm of Asaph.
Of David. To you, Lord, I call; my Rock, do not be deaf to me, Do not be silent toward me, so that I join those who go down to the pit.
You see this, Lord; do not be silent; Lord, do not withdraw from me.
For you we are slain all the day long, considered only as sheep to be slaughtered.
A psalm of Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Our God comes and will not be silent! Devouring fire precedes him, it rages strongly around him.
For a long time I have kept silent, I have said nothing, holding myself back; Now I cry out like a woman in labor, gasping and panting.
