The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].

So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him;
And let them pray for him continually;
Let them bless and praise him all day long.

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

How long, O Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?

O Lord, how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked rejoice in triumph?

O sons of men, how long will my honor and glory be [turned into] shame?
How long will you [my enemies] love worthless (vain, futile) things and seek deception and lies? Selah.

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long must I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy exalt himself and triumph over me?
