2 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.

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

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

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

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

Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

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

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

I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of YHWH Most High.
