New Living Translation NLT
King James Version KJV
1 O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
1
How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
3
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I 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
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
5
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
6
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
