GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 How long, O LORD? 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 make decisions alone with sorrow in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over 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 at me! Answer me, O LORD my God! Light up my eyes, or else I will die
3
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 and my enemy will say, "I have overpowered him." My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.
4
Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I trust your mercy. My heart finds joy in your salvation.
5
But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 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.
