| How long, O LORD?
will you forget me for ever? *
how long will you hide your face from me?
|
| 2
| How long shall I have perplexity in my mind,
and grief in my heart, day after day? *
how long shall my enemy triumph over me?
|
| 3
| Look upon me and answer me, O LORD my God;
*
give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
|
| 4
| Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed
over him," *
and my foes rejoice that I have fallen.
|
| 5
| But I put my trust in your mercy; *
my heart is joyful because of your saving help.
|
| 6
| I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt
with me richly; *
I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.
