Third Millennium Bible TMB
GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 <<To the chief musician: A Psalm of David.>> How long wilt Thou forget me, O LORD? For ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?
1
How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
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?
2
How long must I make decisions alone with sorrow in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
3
Look at me! Answer me, O LORD my God! Light up my eyes, or else I will die
4 lest mine enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
4
and my enemy will say, "I have overpowered him." My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.
5 But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.
5
But I trust your mercy. My heart finds joy in your salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
6
I will sing to the LORD because he has been good to me.
