1

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3

Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

4

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

5

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6

I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
