2How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?
2How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
3How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
4Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
5lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.
5Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
6But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation. I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
6But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
