1 How long, O 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 all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,4 And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.5 But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.6 I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
