1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your from me.

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

Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my over me.

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

Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.

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

Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.

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

And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your

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

I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.
