1 How long, LORD, will You forget me?
How long will You hide Your face?
How long, LORD, will this depression
grip my soul in its embrace?
2 How long will this dreadful sorrow
pierce my heart all night and day?
How long will my soul's attacker
be exalted o'er my way?
3 Look on me, LORD, come and answer,
light my eyes lest death approach;
Lest my enemy claim victory
and my foes gloat in reproach.
4 But I trust Your lovingkindness,
in salvation I'll rejoice;
For the LORD has been good to me;
I will sing with heart and voice.
