Vers 1

How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that thou
wilt hide thy face from me?

Vers 2

How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
Shall be mine enemy?

Vers 3

O Lord my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake:

Vers 4

Lest that mine enemy should say,
Against him I prevail’d;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am mov’d and fail’d.

Vers 5

But I have all my confidence
thy mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvation.

Vers 6

I will unto the Lord my God
sing praises cheerfully,
Because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.
