1 H ow long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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 H ow long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

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

3 C onsider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

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

4 L est mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

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

5 B ut I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

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