New International Version NIV
American Standard Version ASV
1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
1
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from 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?
2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
3
Consider [and] answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
4
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [Lest] mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
5
But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
6
I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
