| 1 For the director of music. A psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? |
| 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? |
| 3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; |
| 4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. |
| 5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. |
| 6 I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me. |
