¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

³ Behold, and answer me, Lord, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

⁴ Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;" Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

⁵ But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁶ I will sing to the Lord, because he has been good to me.
