¹ To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? --for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

² Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

³ Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

⁴ Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

⁵ And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

⁶ I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
