1   How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
    2   How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
    3   Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
    4   Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
    5   But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
    6   I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
