How Long, O LORD?
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.
