| 1 | How long, O LORD? Wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
| 2 | How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? |
| 3 | Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; |
| 4 | lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him"; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. |
| 5 | But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. |
| 6 | I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. |
