Book One (Psalms 1-41) "Concerning Man"
A Psalm of David.
1: How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2: How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3: Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4: Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5: But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6: I will sing unto the LORD,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
