O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
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 Lord, you know all about this. Do not stay silent. Do not abandon me now, O Lord.
Wake up, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Get up! Do not reject us forever.
The Lord, the Mighty One, is God, and he has spoken; he has summoned all humanity from where the sun rises to where it sets.
Our God approaches, and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around 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.
