¹⁰ O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

² How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

¹⁶ Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

⁴ We are looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and made sport of by those who are round us.

⁵ How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? will your wrath go on burning like fire?

¹² And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.

⁴⁶ How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?

⁵⁰ Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

⁵¹ The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.

⁶ And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was over the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?

¹⁰ And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?
