How long, O Lord Will you forget me forever how long will you hide your face from me how long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day how long shall my enemy be exalted over me consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken but I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me
