Good News Translation GNT
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 How much longer will you forget me, Lord? Forever? How much longer will you hide yourself from me?
1
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long must I endure trouble? How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night? How long will my enemies triumph over me?
2
How long must I bear pain 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, O Lord my God, and answer me. Restore my strength; don't let me die.
3
Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Don't let my enemies say, "We have defeated him." Don't let them gloat over my downfall.
4
lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him"; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5 I rely on your constant love; I will be glad, because you will rescue me.
5
But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing to you, O Lord, because you have been good to me.
6
I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
