King James Version (KJV)

Psalms 71:12

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

Verse in context — Psalms 71

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him].

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

Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
