Why do You stand afar off, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?

i1 [To the Chief Musician. Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David.] i0 par My Mighty God, My Mighty God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, and from the words of My groaning?

But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My Strength, make haste to help Me!

O the Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of trouble, why should You be like a sojourner in the land, and like a traveler who turns aside to lodge for the night?

Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Jehovah, the Mighty God of Truth.

He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.

Or, Deliver me from the hand of the adversary? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

had I not feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misunderstand, lest they should say, our hand is high; and Jehovah has not done all this.

For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?
