The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
1 For the leader. A psalm of David: How long, ADONAI? 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 must I keep asking myself what to do, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long must my enemy dominate 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, and answer me, ADONAI my God! Give light to 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 Then my enemy would say, "I was able to beat him"; and my adversaries would 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 grace, my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety.
5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to ADONAI, because he gives me even more than I need.
6
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
