To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1How long will You forget me, O LORD? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; enlighten my eyes, before I sleep the sleep of death;

4And my enemy says, ‘I have triumphed over him’; and my persecutors rejoice when I am shaken. 5But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 6I will sing unto the LORD, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
