To the chief Musician,
A Psalm
of David.
How long wilt thou forget
me, O LORD?
for ever?
how long wilt thou hide
thy face
from me?
How long shall I take
counsel
in my soul,
having sorrow
in my heart
daily?
how long shall mine enemy
be exalted
over me?
Consider
and hear
me, O LORD
my God:
lighten
mine eyes,
lest I sleep
the sleep of death;
Lest mine enemy
say,
I have prevailed
against him; and those that trouble
me rejoice
when I am moved.
But I have trusted
in thy mercy;
my heart
shall rejoice
in thy salvation.
I will sing
unto the LORD,
because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.
