1  How long, O YHWH, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

title  For the end, a Psalm of David.

1  How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?

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 shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over 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?

3  Behold Thou, and answer me, O YHWH my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

3  Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

3  Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4  Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

4  lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

5  But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

5  But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation.

5  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.

6  I will sing unto YHWH, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

6  I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
