How Long, O LORD?

1For the one directing. A Psalm of David.

1 Until when, O YHWH?

Will You forget me forever?

Until when will You hide Your face from me?

2Until when shall I set counsel in my soul,

and sorrow in my heart daily?

Until when will my enemy be raised high over me?

3Look attentively; answer me, O YHWH my God!

Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him.”

My adversaries rejoice because I am shaken.

5Yet I have trusted in Your loving devotion;

My heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6I will sing to YHWH,

because He has dealt bountifully with me.
