For the director of music, a psalm of David.

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long, Lord, will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

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

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and have sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine 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.

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

Lest my enemy say, 'I have overcome him,' and my foes rejoice when I fall.

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

But I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for He has been good to me.

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