1. How long, O Lord? Will You forget me for good?
1. How long will you hide Your face fromme?
2. How long will I harbor cares in my soul
2. and sorrow in my heart by day?
2. How long will my enemy loom over me?
3. Take note and answer me, O Lord my God!
3. Brighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4. lest my enemy say, “I have him,”
4. lest my foes exult when I stumble.
5. I for my part confide in Your kindness;
5. may my heart exult in Your salvation!
6. I will sing to the Lord,
6. because He has dealt bountifully withme.
