Psalms 70:5

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.

I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!

Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong! Don’t be afraid! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. He will come and save you.

Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.

What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?

For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.

“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.

For Yahweh hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.

God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.

Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

“In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
