1For the choir director; a psalm by David. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2How long must I make decisions alone with sorrow in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3Look at me! Answer me, O LORD my God! Light up my eyes, or else I will die
4and my enemy will say, "I have overpowered him." My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.
5But I trust your mercy. My heart finds joy in your salvation.
6I will sing to the LORD because he has been good to me.
