¹How long, YHWH?

Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

²How long must I keep thoughts in my soul,

and sorrow in my heart every day?

How long will my enemy triumph over me?

³Look at me! Answer me, YHWH, my God.

Give light to my eyes,

or else I will sleep in death;

⁴and my enemy say, “I have overcome him,”

and my adversaries will rejoice when I fall.

⁵But I trust in your lovingkindness.

My heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁶I will sing to YHWH,

because ʜᴇ has been good to me.
