| 1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. How long, O 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over 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? |
| 3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, | 3Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die. |
| 4And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," And my adversaries 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. |
| 5But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. | 5But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. |
| 6I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. | 6I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me. |
