Radak

c. 1160–1235 Jewish

Be not far from me: – Now also in exile be not far from me; since Thou hast been nigh me from my mother's womb as I grew up, be not far from me in the time of my trouble; for trouble is near: – but if Thou art near it will be far off. For there is none to help: – apart from Thee.
