1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
1大衛的詩，交給詩班長。耶和華啊！你忘記我要到幾時呢？要到永遠嗎？你掩面不顧我，要到幾時呢？
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
2我心裡籌算不安，內心終日愁苦，要到幾時呢？我的仇敵勝過我，要到幾時呢？
3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
3耶和華我的 神啊！求你看顧我，應允我；求你使我的眼睛明亮，免得我沉睡至死；
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
4免得我的仇敵說：“我勝過了他”；免得我跌倒的時候我的敵人就歡呼。
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
5至於我，我倚靠你的慈愛，我的心必因你的救恩歡呼。
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
6我要歌頌耶和華，因他以厚恩待我。（本章第5~6節在《馬索拉抄本》為13:6）
