Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
1 How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away 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 sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my 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 Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in 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 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 prevailed"; my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation.
5
But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice 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 to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
