Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
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.
