O God, be not far from me! My God, come quickly to help me.
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
O God, be not far from me! O my God, make haste to help me!
O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
Don’t be far from me, God! My God, hurry to help me!
For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper.
For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
Why, Adonai, are You standing far off? Why hide Yourself in times of trouble?
Answer me speedily, Adonai— my spirit fails. Hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the Pit.
From the womb I was cast on You— from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
They divide my clothes among them, and cast lots for my garment.
You have seen it, Adonai—be not silent! Adonai, be not far from me.
For evils beyond number surround me, my sins have overtaken me —I cannot see— they are more than the hairs of my head —and my heart fails me.
Hide not Your face from Your servant. For I am in distress—answer me quickly.
But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You. May those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified.”
