For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
