| 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? 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 struggle in my soul at night and have sorrow in my heart during the day? How long will my enemy rise up against me? |
| 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; | 3Look at me! Answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes! Otherwise, I will sleep in death; |
| 4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. | 4Otherwise, my enemy will say, "I have overcome him;" Otherwise, my persecutor will rejoice when I am shaken. |
| 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. | 5As for me, I have trusted in your gracious love, my heart will rejoice in your deliverance. |
| 6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt bountifully with me. |
