How long, O Lord?

1
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?
2
How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?
3
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
4
Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,
5
lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.
6
But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.

How long, O Lord?

1
How long, LORD? 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, LORD, 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 the LORD, because he has been good to me.
