How Long, O LORD? 1(12:1) For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away thy face from me? 2(12:2) How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3(12:3) Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death; 4(12:4) lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved. 5(12:5) But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation. 6(12:6) I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
