The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
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
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Look, and answer me, ADONAI my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death.
3
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Then my enemy would say, "I was able to beat him"; and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall.
4
Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I trust in your grace, my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety.
5
But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to ADONAI, because he gives me even more than I need.
6
I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
