How Long, O Lord?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 Ps. 79:5;89:46;[Rev. 6:10] How long, O Lord? Will you Ps. 10:12;44:24;74:19,23;Lam. 5:20forget me forever?
How long will you See Job 13:24hide your face from me?
2 How long must I take [Ps. 77:6]counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Ps. 5:1;119:153Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
Ps. 19:8;Ezra 9:8;Prov. 29:13;Eph. 1:18;[1 Sam. 14:27] light up my eyes, lest [Jer. 51:39]I sleep the sleep of death,
4 Deut. 32:27lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
lest my foes rejoice because I am See Ps. 10:6shaken.
5 But I have See Ps. 11:1trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall See Ps. 9:14rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
