              1 How much longer will you forget me, Lord? Forever? How much longer will you hide yourself from me?
            
            
                1
How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?            
            
              2 How long must I endure trouble? How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night? How long will my enemies triumph 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 Look at me, O Lord my God, and answer me. Restore my strength; don't let me die.
            
            
                3
Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,            
            
              4 Don't let my enemies say, "We have defeated him." Don't let them gloat over my downfall.
            
            
                4
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.            
            
              5 I rely on your constant love; I will be glad, because you will rescue me.
            
            
                5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.            
            
              6 I will sing to you, O Lord, because you have been good to me.
            
            
                6
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
