1How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
2How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
