Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
Ver. 21. Forsake me not, O Lord] This was that he most of all feared, spiritual desertion. So Jeremiah, Be not thou a terror unto me, O God; and then I care not what else can befall me.
O my God, be not far from me] Though my friends stand aloof, Psalms 38:11, yet be thou ever at hand to help me.
