1 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.

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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 must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

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

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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