Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long will I be left alone to comfort my own soul
With only sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long?
How long, O Lord?
Consider and answer me, O God
The people you love are crying out
How long?
Hear my cry to you, O Lord
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death
And my enemies rejoice prevailing over me
I am shaken as I lift my eyes to you
How long?
How long, O Lord?
Consider and answer me, O God
The people you love are crying out
How long?
But I have trusted in your steadfast love
My heart shall rejoice in your salvation
And I will sing unto the Lord because
He has dealt bountifully with me
