The Book of Psalms

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?(a)

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing unto the Lord , because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

(a)13:1 chief…: or, overseer
