How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How 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?
2
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
3
Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 and my enemy will say, "I have prevailed"; my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
4
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
