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.
