1(For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

2How long wilt Thou forget me, Hashem? Netzach (forever)?
How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

3How long shall I take counsel in my nefesh,
having sorrow in my lev daily?
How long shall mine oyev be exalted over me?

4Consider and hear me, Hashem Elohai;
enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of mavet;

5Lest mine oyev say,
I have prevailed against him;
and those that trouble me rejoice
when I am defeated.

6But I have trusted in Thy chesed;
my lev shall rejoice in Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation).
6 I will sing unto Hashem,
because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
