1 How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever?

How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long am I to feel anxious in my soul,

With grief in my heart all the day?

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;

Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

4 And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"

And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

5 But I have trusted in Your faithfulness;

My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord,

Because He has looked after me.
