1
How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long must I take counsel in my soul, [and] sorrow in my heart [all the] day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3
Consider [and] answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep [the sleep of] death,
4
[and] lest my enemy should say, "I have overcome him," [lest] my enemies rejoice because I am shaken.
5
But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love. My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.
6
I will sing to Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me.
