"Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help."
— Psalms 22:19, Bible in Basic English
“But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.”
“But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me. ”
“But don't be far off, Yahweh. You are my help: hurry to help me.”
“But you, O LORD, do not remain far away! You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me!”
Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.
Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.
I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.
