Common English Bible CEB
New International Version NIV
1 How long will you forget me, LORD? Forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
1
How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long will I be left to my own wits, agony filling my heart? Daily? How long will my enemy keep defeating 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 Look at me! Answer me, LORD my God! Restore sight to my eyes! Otherwise, I'll 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 won!" My foes will rejoice over my downfall.
4
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I have trusted in your faithful love. My heart will rejoice in your salvation.
5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 Yes, I will sing to the LORD because he has been good to me.
6
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
