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 psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1How much longer, Lord,
will you forget about me?
Will it be forever?
How long will you hide?
2How long must I be confused
and miserable all day?
How long will my enemies
keep beating me down?
3Please listen, Lord God,
and answer my prayers.
Make my eyes sparkle again,
or else I will fall
into the sleep of death.
4My enemies will say,
“Now we've won!”
They will be greatly pleased
when I am defeated.
5I trust your love,
and I feel like celebrating
because you rescued me.
6You have been good to me, Lord,
and I will sing about you.
