New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
1 O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
1
How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
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 Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will 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 gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
4
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
6
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
