1 To the overseer; chanting of David. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? For 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?
2 How long, O Jehovah, wilt thou wholly forget me? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How 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? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 How long shall I put counsels in my soul, grief in my heart the day? how long shall mine enemy rise up against me? Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 Look upon, answer me, O Jehovah my God: enlighten mine eyes, lest I shall sleep the death; lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 Lest mine enemy shall say, I prevailed against him; mine adversaries shall exult when I shall be moved. But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 And I trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation. I will sing to Jehovah for he benefited me. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
