1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6εγω δε επι τω ελεει ϲου ηλπιϲα αγαλλιαϲεται η καρδια μου επι τω ϲωτηριω ϲου αϲω τω κω τω ευεργετηϲαντι με και ψαλω τω ονοματι κυ του υψιϲτου
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
