HOW long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long shall I take cousel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy exalted over me?

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

4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the LORD, because He dealt bountifully with me. PSALM 13
