| 1How long? LORD, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? | 1For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. LORD, how long will You forget me? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? |
| 2How long must I struggle in my soul at night and have sorrow in my heart during the day? How long will my enemy rise up against me? | 2How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will my enemy dominate me? |
| 3Look at me! Answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes! Otherwise, I will sleep in death; | 3Consider me and answer, LORD my God. Restore brightness to my eyes; otherwise, I will sleep in death. |
| 4Otherwise, my enemy will say, "I have overcome him;" Otherwise, my persecutor will rejoice when I am shaken. | 4My enemy will say, "I have triumphed over him," and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken. |
| 5As for me, I have trusted in your gracious love, my heart will rejoice in your deliverance. | 5But I have trusted in Your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. |
| 6I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD because He has treated me generously. |
