¹How long, O LORD? Will you forget me for ever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

²How long must I bear pain in my soul,

and have sorrow in my heart all day long?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

³Consider and answer me, O LORD my God!

Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

⁴and my enemy will say, ‘I have prevailed’;

my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

⁵But I trusted in your steadfast love;

my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

⁶I will sing to the LORD,

because he has dealt bountifully with me.
