[b]Be not far from me, for trouble is near.
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day?—Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!
When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.—The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”—“Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
