1	TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2	How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3	Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4	lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5	But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6	I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

1	How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2	How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3	Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4	my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5	But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6	I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.

1	O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
2	How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
3	Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
4	Don't let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don't let them rejoice at my downfall.
5	But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
6	I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me. For the choir director: A psalm of David.

1	How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2	How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3	Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4	Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5	But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6	I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
