Hear me

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

Make haste, O Lord, to help me.

But I am afflicted and needy;

Hasten to me, O God!

You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.

O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, hasten to my help!

My spirit

For evils beyond number have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

“For I will not contend forever,

Nor will I always be angry;

For the spirit would grow faint before Me,
And the breath of those whom I have made.

men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Hide not

For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from him;
But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;

Do not abandon me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation!

And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in distress; answer me quickly.

And I will wait for the Lord

who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.

Lest i be like, etc

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.

I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit;
I have become like a man without strength,

“For Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.

Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

My eyes fail with longing for Your salvation
And for Your righteous word.
