²² Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

¹ Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I call: My rock, be not thou deaf unto me; Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

¹ Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

⁷ And Jehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

¹² O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.

²¹ Forsake me not, O Jehovah: O my God, be not far from me.

¹¹ Be not far from me; for trouble is near; For there is none to help.

³⁴ I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

⁶ Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom,

¹ O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

²¹ These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: `But' I will reprove thee, and set `them' in order before thine eyes.

¹² Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

¹⁹ But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
