[A Psalm] of David. To You, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me; lest You be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

You have seen [it], O Lord; keep not silence; O Lord, withdraw not [Yourself] from me.

Awake, why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise, and do not cast [us] off forever.

God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silent; a fire shall be kindled before Him, and round about Him there shall be a very great tempest.

For the end, A Psalm of David. O God, pass not over my praise in silence;

for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the crafty have been opened against me; they have spoken against me with a crafty tongue.

I have been silent; shall I also always be silent and forbear; I have endured like a travailing [woman]; I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
