Prayer for Help in Trouble.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever?
         How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
         Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
         How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
         Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4 And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
         And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
         My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
         Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
