How long, O Lord, how long?
How long, O Lord, will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I bear this pain and sorrow?
How long will my foes be over me?
How long, O Lord, how long?
Give heed and answer me, O Lord, my God.
Give light, lest I sleep the sleep of death.
Let not all my foes say we have triumphed.
Or shout joyfully because I fall.
How long, O Lord, how long?
But I have trusted in your steadfast love.
My heart will sing of your salvation.
Yes, I will sing unto the Lord because he has been ever kind and gracious.
I will sing unto the Lord.
For I have trusted in your steadfast love.
My heart will sing of your salvation.
Yes, I will sing unto the Lord because he has been ever kind and gracious.
I will sing unto the Lord.
