1 How long, Yahawah ()? 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Behold, and answer me, Yahawah (), my Alahayam (). Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 Lest my enemy inah (answer / respond), “I nabat (have) prevailed against him;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart yagayalaw (rejoices) in your salvation.
6 I will shayar (sing) to Yahawah (), because he has been gamal (good) to me.
