1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד׃

2 עַד־אָנָה יְהוָה תִּשְׁכָּחֵנִי נֶצַח עַד־אָנָה ׀ תַּסְתִּיר אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי׃

3 עַד־אָנָה אָשִׁית עֵצֹות בְּנַפְשִׁי יָגֹון בִּלְבָבִי יֹומָם עַד־אָנָה ׀ יָרוּם אֹיְבִי עָלָי׃

4 הַבִּיטָה עֲנֵנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי הָאִירָה עֵינַי פֶּן־אִישַׁן הַמָּוֶת׃

5 פֶּן־יֹאמַר אֹיְבִי יְכָלְתִּיו צָרַי יָגִילוּ כִּי אֶמֹּוט׃

6 וַאֲנִי ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ בָטַחְתִּי יָגֵל לִבִּי בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה כִּי גָמַל עָלָי׃

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

2 How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

3 Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

4 And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad when I am moved.

5 But I have had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation.

6 I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.
