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 mine
enemy be
exalted over me?
3 Consider and
hear me, O
LORD my
God:
lighten mine
eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of
death;
4 Lest mine
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 unto the
LORD, because he hath dealt
bountifully with me.
