Listen (KJV)

1How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me 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 all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3Considerand answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
