How Long, O Lord?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

Ps. 79:5; 89:46; [Rev. 6:10] How long, O Lord? Will you #Ps. 10:12; 44:24; 74:19, 23; Lam. 5:20 forget me forever?
How long will you #See Job 13:24hide your face from me?
2How long must I take #[Ps. 77:6]counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 #
Ps. 5:1; 119:153 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
#
Ps. 19:8; Ezra 9:8; Prov. 29:13; Eph. 1:18; [1 Sam. 14:27] light up my eyes, lest #[Jer. 51:39]I sleep the sleep of death,
4 #
Deut. 32:27 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am #See Ps. 10:6shaken.
5But I have #See Ps. 11:1 trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall #See Ps. 9:14rejoice in your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.

A Prayer for God to Be Near
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
How long will you hide from me?
2How long must I worry
and feel sad in my heart all day?
How long will my enemy win over me?
3Lord, look at me.
Answer me, my God;
tell me, or I will die.
4Otherwise my enemy will say, “I have won!”
Those against me will rejoice that I’ve been defeated.
5I trust in your love.
My heart is happy because you saved me.
6I sing to the Lord
because he has taken care of me.
