The Book of Psalms

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, || Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your face from me?

Until when do I set counsels in my soul, || [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, || Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Lest my enemy say, “I overcame him,” || My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

And I have trusted in Your kindness, || My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

I sing to YHWH, || For He has conferred benefits on me!

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
