New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 How long, O LORD ? Will You forget me 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will 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; Enlighten 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 overcome him," And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
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 lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
5
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.
6
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
