| 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? | 1How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? |
| 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? | 2How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? |
| 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; | 3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, |
| 4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. | 4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. |
| 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. | 5But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. |
| 6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. |
