To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 
 
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever?  
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?   
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,  
Having sorrow in my heart daily?  
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?   
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God:  
Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;   
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;  
And those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.   
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy;  
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.   
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
