New Living Translation NLT
The Message Bible MSG
1 O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way?
1
Long enough, God - you've ignored me long enough. I've looked at the back of your head
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
Long enough I've carried this ton of trouble, lived with a stomach full of pain. Long enough my arrogant enemies have looked down their noses at me.
3 Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
3
Take a good look at me, God, my God; I want to look life in the eye,
4 Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
4
So no enemy can get the best of me or laugh when I fall on my face.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
5
I've thrown myself headlong into your arms - I'm celebrating your rescue.
6 I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
6
I'm singing at the top of my lungs, I'm so full of answered prayers.
