1For the director of music. A psalm of David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? | 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? | 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? |
3Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, | 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; |
4and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. | 4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. |
5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. | 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. |
6I will sing the LORD's praise, for he has been good to me. | 6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. |
