A Prayer for Help in Trouble |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 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. |
|
