1 To the victory, [the psalm]of David. Lord, how long forgettest thou me, into the end? how long turnest thou away thy face from me?

2 How long shall I set counsel in my soul; sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be raised up on me?

3 My Lord God, behold thou, and hear thou me. Lighten thou mine eyes, lest any time I sleep in death;

4 lest any time mine enemy say, I had the mastery against him. They, that trouble me, shall have joy, if I shall be stirred;

5 but I hoped in thy mercy. Mine heart shall fully have joy in thine health;

6 I shall sing to the Lord, that giveth goods to me, and I shall say psalm to the name of the highest Lord.
