Lord, hear me when I call to you for help.[a]
    Be kind to me and answer me.
I have heard you say to me, ‘Come near to me.’
    So I will come and pray to you, Lord.
Please do not turn away from me.
I am your servant,
    so do not be angry with me.
You have always helped me in the past,
    so do not push me away now.
You are the one who saves me, God,
    so do not turn away from me.

Footnotes

  1. 27:7 Here the psalm changes. In verses 1-6, life was good for David. Now life is difficult. David thinks that God has forgotten him. But David continues to pray. He says, ‘You gave me help in the past, so do not forget me now.’
