Do not be far from me, for trouble is near;
And there is no one to help.

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my neighbors stand far away.

He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.

Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

When the Almighty scattered [the Canaanite] kings in the land of Canaan,
It was snowing on Zalmon.

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him,
That I may tell of all Your works.

We give thanks and praise to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your [wonderful works declare that Your] name is near;
People declare Your wonders.

Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder],
That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.

For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draws near the grave (Sheol, the place of the dead).

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But danger will not come near you.

No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

Hungry and thirsty,
They fainted.

They detested all kinds of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.

Those who follow after wickedness approach;
They are far from Your law.

You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.

Tav.
Let my [mournful] cry come before You, O Lord;
Give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] according to Your word [of promise].

The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him in truth (without guile).

He has lifted up a horn for His people [giving them strength, prosperity, dignity, and preeminence],
Praise for all His godly ones;
For the people of Israel, a people near to Him.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
