¹How long, 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me? ³Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death; ⁴lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall. ⁵But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation. ⁶I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
