Dual Panel1HOW LONG will You forget me, O Lord? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
2How long must I lay up cares within me and have sorrow in my heart day after day? How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?
3Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face in the pitchlike darkness], lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him, {and} those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.
5But I have trusted, leaned on, {and} been confident in Your mercy {and} loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice {and} be in high spirits in Your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
