To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1How long wilt thou forget me, O lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?chief…: or, overseer
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider and hear me, O lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6I will sing unto the lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
