1How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
1Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
2The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
3Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
3They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
4Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
5But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
5They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
6I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
6For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
