1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
|
1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
|
|
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over 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 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;
|
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
|
|
4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
|
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
|
|
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
|
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
|
|
6 I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
|
6 I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.
