Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!
To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
This You have seen, O Lord; Do not keep silence. O Lord, do not be far from me.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
“I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once.
Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
