Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.
Don’t turn away from me in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you.
For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.
Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me, O God of my salvation!
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.
As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.
Don’t hide from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in deep trouble!
Come and redeem me; free me from my enemies.
I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me.
But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O Lord, do not delay.
O God, don’t stay away. My God, please hurry to help me.
I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to the grave can no longer hope in your faithfulness.
For I will not fight against you forever; I will not always be angry. If I were, all people would pass away— all the souls I have made.
I will wait for the Lord, who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob. I will put my hope in him.
People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
