1 How long will you forget me, O Lord; for ever? ♦︎
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I have anguish in my soul
and grief in my heart, day after day? ♦︎
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look upon me and answer, O Lord my God; ♦︎
lighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, ♦︎
and my foes rejoice that I have fallen.
5 But I put my trust in your steadfast love; ♦︎
my heart will rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord, ♦︎
for he has dealt so bountifully with me.
1 In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; ♦︎
deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Incline your ear to me; ♦︎
make haste to deliver me.
3 Be my strong rock, a fortress to save me,
for you are my rock and my stronghold; ♦︎
guide me, and lead me for your names sake.
4 Take me out of the net
that they have laid secretly for me, ♦︎
for you are my strength.
5 Into your hands I commend my spirit, ♦︎
for you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; ♦︎
I put my trust in the Lord.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy, ♦︎
for you have seen my affliction
and known my soul in adversity.
8 You have not shut me up in the hand of the enemy; ♦︎
you have set my feet in an open place.
