¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

²⁴ Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?

⁴⁶ Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

³ Till when `do' the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?

⁴ They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.

²⁰ Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!

²⁴ Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,

¹² Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.

³ And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

² But your iniquities have been separating Between you and your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you -- from hearing.

¹⁴ Satisfy us at morn `with' Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

⁵ To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

⁴ Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.

¹ An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.

¹⁷ Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

¹ To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?

² My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.

¹⁷ and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst -- these evils have found me?
