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

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
