For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David [Beloved].  
   
 
1 How long, Adonai?  
Will you forget me forever?  
How long will you hide your face from me?   
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,  
having sorrow in my heart every day?  
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?   
3 Behold, and answer me, Adonai, my God.  
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;   
4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”  
Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.   
   
 
5 But I trust in your chesed ·loving-kindness·.  
My heart rejoices in your yishu'ah ·salvation·.   
6 I will sing to Adonai,  
because he has been good to me.
