O Elohim, do not remain silent! Do not be speechless, And do not be still, O Ěl!
I cry to You, O יהוה my Rock: Do not be deaf to me! For if You are silent to me, I shall be like those who go down to the pit.
This You have seen, O יהוה; Do not be silent. O יהוה, do not be far from me.
Awake! Why do You sleep, O יהוה? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
Ěl Elohim יהוה shall speak, And He shall call the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.
Our Elohim comes, and is not silent – A fire consumes before Him, And it shall be very stormy all around Him.
“I have kept silent from of old, I have been still and held Myself back. Like a woman in labour I now cry out, I pant and gasp at once.
