1Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
1Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
2How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?
2They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
3How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.
4Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:
4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”
5Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:
5“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”
6But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.
