¹⁹ Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.

¹¹ Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.

¹ Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord, of David, who said the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord made him free from the hand of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul; and he said,> I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.

¹⁷ Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

¹³ But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.

¹⁴ Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.

¹⁵ Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.

¹⁶ Give an answer to my words, O Lord; for your mercy is good: be turned to me, because of your great pity.

¹⁷ Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

¹⁸ Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.

⁵ But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
