1 T o 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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