Prayer for Help in Trouble.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 How long, O Loʀᴅ? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long must I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy exalt himself and triumph over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Loʀᴅ my God;
Give light (life) to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4 And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted and relied on and been confident in Your lovingkindness and faithfulness;
My heart shall rejoice and delight in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Loʀᴅ,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
