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