To Him that presides over the choir; a Psalm of David.
1. How long, O JEHOVAH, will you forget me? for ever? How long will you hide your 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. Look upon me, answer me, O JEHOVAH, my GOD! Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death.
4. Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him; lest mine adversaries be glad because I am moved.
5. Yet I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall be glad in your salvation.
6. I will sing to JEHOVAH, because he has recompensed me.
