How long will it be, Jehovah? Forever?
Have long will you forget and ignore me?
How long must it be that doubt torments my mind
And each day pain and sorrow rend my heart --
And my enemies triumph over me?
Take heed and respond, Jehovah my god!
Restore to my eyes some glimmer of hope,
Or else they will be shut in the sleep of death.
Let not my enemies gloat and boast,
Claiming, "We have defeated him!"
Let them not rejoice at my downfall.
But I put my trust in your unfailing love,
And in my heart there is a welling of joy
Knowing that my salvation lies with you.
It is thus to Jehovah I sing my prayer
For he bestows his bounty upon me.
