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.
