Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New International Version NIV
1 How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?
1
How long, 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 sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
2
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;
3
Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
4 lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.
4
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation.
5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
6
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
