1 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me for good?How long will you hide Your face fromme?
2 How long will I harbor cares in my souland sorrow in my heart by day?How long will my enemy loom over me?
3 Take note and answer me, O Lord my God!Brighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 lest my enemy say, “I have him,”lest my foes exult when I stumble.
5 I for my part confide in Your kindness;may my heart exult in Your salvation!
6 I will sing to the Lord,because He has dealt bountifully withme.
