1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [Having] sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider [and] answer me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the [sleep of] death,

4And my enemy will say, 'I have overcome him,' [And] my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

5But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
