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