Common English Bible CEB
English Standard Version ESV
1 How long will you forget me, LORD? Forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
1
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long will I be left to my own wits, agony filling my heart? Daily? How long will my enemy keep defeating me?
2
How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Look at me! Answer me, LORD my God! Restore sight to my eyes! Otherwise, I'll sleep the sleep of death,
3
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 and my enemy will say, "I won!" My foes will rejoice over my downfall.
4
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him, ”lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in your faithful love. My heart will rejoice in your salvation.
5
But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 Yes, I will sing to the LORD because he has been good to me.
6
I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
