{To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? Forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

But my trust is in thy mercy, and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.

Consider, and hear me, O LORD my God. Lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death,

I will sing of the LORD, because he hath dealt so lovingly with me; Yea, I will praise the name of the LORD the most highest.

How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart? How long shall mine enemies triumph over me?

lest mine enemy say, "I have prevailed against him." For if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it.
