For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1How long, O LORD?Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2How long must I wrestle in my soul,with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3Consider me and respond, O LORD my God.Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,”and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5But I have trusted in Your loving devotion;my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6I will sing to the LORD,for He has been good to me.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
