1How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me?
How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long must I worry
and have grief in my heart all day?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

4Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,”
so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

5But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6I will sing to Yahweh
because he has treated me very generously.
