The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New Living Translation NLT
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
O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
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 struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
3 Look, and answer me, ADONAI my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death.
3
Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
4 Then my enemy would say, "I was able to beat him"; and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall.
4
Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
5 But I trust in your grace, my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety.
5
But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
6 I will sing to ADONAI, because he gives me even more than I need.
6
I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
