1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 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?

<>I take counsel in my soul

3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

<>hear me, O LORD my God, <>lighten mine eyes, <>the sleep of death, <>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.

<>thy mercy

6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

<>the LORD … hath dealt bountifully with me
