For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

1 How long, Yahweh?

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 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, 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 Yahweh,

because he has been good to me.

要到永远吗？

你掩面不顾我，要到几时呢？

2 我心里筹算不安，内心终日愁苦，要到几时呢？

我的仇敌胜过我，要到几时呢？

3 耶和华我的　神啊！求你看顾我，应允我；

求你使我的眼睛明亮，免得我沉睡至死；

4 免得我的仇敌说："我胜过了他"；

免得我跌倒的时候我的敌人就欢呼。

5 至于我，我倚靠你的慈爱，

我的心必因你的救恩欢呼。

6 我要歌颂耶和华，因他以厚恩待我。*本章第5~6节在《马索拉文本》为13:6
