                How long will you hide your face from me?
      2    How long must I take counsel in my soul
                and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
            How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

                light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
      4    lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
                lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

      5    But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
                my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
      6    I will sing to the Lord,
                because he has dealt bountifully with me.
