And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which {are} in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? {why} hidest thou {thyself} in times of trouble?

[{A Psalm} of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, {if} thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. {to me: Heb. from me}

Behold, {it is} written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

Be not far from me; for trouble {is} near; for {there is} none to help. {none...: Heb. not a helper}

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

[A Song {or} Psalm of Asaph.] Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}

These {things} hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether {such an one} as thyself: {but} I will reprove thee, and set {them} in order before thine eyes.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I {am} a stranger with thee, {and} a sojourner, as all my fathers {were}.

I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

[A Song {or} Psalm of Asaph.] Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}

[{A Psalm} of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, {if} thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. {to me: Heb. from me}

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

{Thou art} of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, {and} holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth {the man that is} more righteous than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}

Be not far from me; for trouble {is} near; for {there is} none to help. {none...: Heb. not a helper}

[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider {it}?

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret {place}: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. {robbers: or, burglers}

Thou hast seen {it}; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite {it} with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. {committeth: Heb. leaveth}

And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, {that} every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which {was} without the camp.
