How Long, O Lord?
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1 How long, Lord?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Answer me, Lord, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him,”
lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord
because he has been good to me.
