New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
1
O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
2
How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
3
Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
4
Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
5 But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
5
But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
6 I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
6
I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
