How long, O LORD?Will You forget me forever?How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day?How long will my enemy dominate me?

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God.Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
