1 How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever? How long will you hide from me?
1
For the leader. A psalm of David: How long, ADONAI? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I worry and feel sad in my heart all day? How long will my enemy win over me?
2
How long must I keep asking myself what to do, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long must my enemy dominate me?
3 Lord, look at me. Answer me, my God; tell me, or I will die.
3
Look, and answer me, ADONAI my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death.
4 Otherwise my enemy will say, "I have won!" Those against me will rejoice that I've been defeated.
4
Then my enemy would say, "I was able to beat him"; and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall.
5 I trust in your love. My heart is happy because you saved me.
5
But I trust in your grace, my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety.
6 I sing to the Lord because he has taken care of me. For the director of music. Of David.
6
I will sing to ADONAI, because he gives me even more than I need.
