For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1
How long, YHVH?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3
Behold, and answer me, YHVH, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”
lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5
But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6
I will sing to YHVH,
because he has been good to me.
