But you take notice, Lord! O Lord, do not remain far away from me!

For the music director, a psalm of David. O God whom I praise, do not ignore me!

A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God!

By David. To you, O Lord, I cry out! My protector, do not ignore me! If you do not respond to me, I will join those who are descending into the grave.

Hear my prayer, O Lord! Listen to my cry for help! Do not ignore my sobbing! For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land; I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were.
