New Living Translation NLT
Common English Bible CEB
1 O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
1
How long will you forget me, LORD? Forever? How long will you hide your face from 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?
2
How long will I be left to my own wits, agony filling my heart? Daily? How long will my enemy keep defeating me?
3 Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
3
Look at me! Answer me, LORD my God! Restore sight to my eyes! Otherwise, I'll sleep the sleep of death,
4 Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
4
and my enemy will say, "I won!" My foes will rejoice over my downfall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
5
But I have trusted in your faithful love. My heart will rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
6
Yes, I will sing to the LORD because he has been good to me.
