| 1 | To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
| 2 | How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me? |
| 3 | Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; |
| 4 | Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. |
| 5 | But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. |
| 6 | I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. |
