| 1How long? LORD, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? | 1O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? |
| 2How long must I struggle in my soul at night and have sorrow in my heart during the day? How long will my enemy rise up against me? | 2How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand? |
| 3Look at me! Answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes! Otherwise, I will sleep in death; | 3Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die. |
| 4Otherwise, my enemy will say, "I have overcome him;" Otherwise, my persecutor will rejoice when I am shaken. | 4Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall. |
| 5As for me, I have trusted in your gracious love, my heart will rejoice in your deliverance. | 5But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. |
| 6I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me. |
