| 1How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? | 1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? |
| 2How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? | 2How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me? |
| 3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, | 3Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death, |
| 4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. | 4lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall. |
| 5But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. | 5But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation. |
| 6I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me. |
