[1] To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Will you for ever put me
out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?
[2] How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the
day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me? [3] Let my
voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light
be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me; [4] And
he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are
troubling me may not be glad when I am moved. [5] But I have had faith in
your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation. [6] I will make a song
to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.
