How long, O Lord?

1
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?(a)
2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6
I will sing unto the Lord , because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

(a)13:1 chief…: or, overseer

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.
