For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 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.
