King James Version KJV
New Revised Standard NRS
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
1
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
2
How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
3
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
4
and my enemy will say, "I have prevailed"; my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
5
But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
6
I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
