²² You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.

¹ <Of David.> My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.

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

⁷ And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;

¹² O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.

²¹ Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.

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

³⁴ Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

⁶ See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment,

¹ <A Song. A Psalm. Of Asaph.> O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.

²¹ These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.

¹² Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

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