How long wilt THOU forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt THOU hide THY face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
But I have trusted in THY mercy; my heart shall rejoice in THY salvation.
I will sing unto the Lord, because HE hath dealt bountifully with me.
