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 Plea for Deliverance
For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.
1Lord, how long will You forget me?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me? # Jb 13:24; Ps 44:24; 89:46
2How long will I store up anxious concerns # Or up counsels within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me? # Ps 6:3; 38:6; 42:9
3Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes; # Ezr 9:8; Ps 19:8; Pr 29:13
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
4My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken. # Ps 89:42
5But I have trusted in Your faithful love; # Ps 52:8
my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. # Ps 9:14
6I will sing to the Lord
because He has treated me generously. # Ps 119:17; 142:7
