A Psalm of David. O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies!
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me!
But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be.”
