1 H ow long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 H ow long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 B ehold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 L est my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

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