O God, whom I praise, don’t stand silent and aloof
You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you!
I pray to you, O Lord, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die.
O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!
He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant.
O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone!
He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen with your own eyes.
