| 1How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? | 1How long? LORD, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? |
| 2How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? | 2How long must I struggle in my soul at night and have sorrow in my heart during the day? How long will my enemy rise up against me? |
| 3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, | 3Look at me! Answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes! Otherwise, I will sleep in death; |
| 4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. | 4Otherwise, my enemy will say, "I have overcome him;" Otherwise, my persecutor will rejoice when I am shaken. |
| 5But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. | 5As for me, I have trusted in your gracious love, my heart will rejoice in your deliverance. |
| 6I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt bountifully with me. |
