Psalms 38:21

WEB

Do not forsake me, Lord. My God, do not be far from me.

KJV

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

Commentary

Forsake me not, O Lord,.... Or continue not to forsake; for he seems to have been under divine desertion, and might be under apprehensions that God had utterly forsaken him; which he entreats he would not, though his friends had forsook him, and his own strength had failed and left him, Psa 38:10 ; O my God, be not far from me; as to his gracious presence, and with respect to help and deliverance, otherwise God is not far from any of his creatures, being omnipresent.
