Psalm 143:7
Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Note lest…: or, for I am become like, etc
Hurry to answer me, Lord. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
