1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever?How long wilt thou hide thy 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?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God:lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy;my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the Lord,because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
