| 1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? | 1For the director of music. A psalm of David. How 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 will my enemy be exalted over me? | 2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? |
| 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death; | 3Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, |
| 4Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved. | 4and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. |
| 5But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. | 5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. |
| 6I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing the LORD's praise, for he has been good to me. |
