²² This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

¹ Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

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

⁷ And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which 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 for my help.

²¹ Forsake me not, O LORD: 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 seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and 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, even recompense into their bosom,

¹ Keep not thou silence, O God: 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 an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

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

¹⁹ But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
