1How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever?How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?2How long shall I take counsel in my soul,Having sorrow in my heart all the day?How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?3Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God:Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.5But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness;My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.6I will sing unto Jehovah,Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
