2 How long, Lord? Will you utterly forget me?How long will you hide your face from me?
3 How long must I carry sorrow in my soul,grief in my heart day after day?How long will my enemy triumph over me?
4 Look upon me, answer me, Lord, my God!Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death,
5 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed,”lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.
6 But I trust in your mercy.Grant my heart joy in your salvation,I will sing to the Lord,for he has dealt bountifully with me!
