But You, O Lord, do not be far from me;
O You my help, come quickly to my assistance.

As for me, I said in my alarm,
“I am cut off from Your eyes.”
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications (specific requests)
When I cried to You [for help].

Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my Salvation.

Be pleased, O Lord, to save me;
O Lord, make haste to help me.

“I would hurry to my refuge [my tranquil shelter far away]
From the stormy wind and from the tempest.”

Princes and envoys shall come from Egypt;
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands [with the offerings of submission] to God.

O God, come quickly to save me;
O Lord, come quickly to help me!

But I am afflicted and needy;
Come quickly to me, O God!
You are my help and my rescuer;
O Lord, do not delay.

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

Therefore He consumed their days like a breath [in emptiness and futility]
And their years in sudden terror.

I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars.”

I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.

Lord, I call upon You; hurry to me.
Listen to my voice when I call to You.
