To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow inn my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,` Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
