For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider andanswer me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep ofdeath;

4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; lestmine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation:

6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
