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 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. ♦︎
Corrupt are they, and abominable in their wickedness;
there is no one that does good.
2 The Lord has looked down from heaven
upon the children of earth, ♦︎
to see if there is anyone who is wise
and seeks after God.
3 But every one has turned back;
all alike have become corrupt: ♦︎
there is none that does good; no, not one.
4 Have they no knowledge, those evildoers, ♦︎
who eat up my people as if they ate bread
and do not call upon the Lord?
5 There shall they be in great fear; ♦︎
for God is in the company of the righteous.
6 Though they would confound the counsel of the poor, ♦︎
yet the Lord shall be their refuge.
7 O that Israels salvation would come out of Zion! ♦︎
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,
then will Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
