How long, O Lord?

1
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3
Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.
4
Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.
5
But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6
I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.

How long, O Lord?

1
How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3
Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5
But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6
I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
