1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
JSTJoseph Smith Translation of v. 1
How long, O Lord, wilt thou withdraw thyself from me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me, that I may not see thee? Wilt thou forget me and cast me off from thy presence forever?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
JSTJoseph Smith Translation of v. 2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
JSTJoseph Smith Translation of v. 3
Consider me, O Lord, and hear my cry, O my God, and lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the death of the ungodly, lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him.
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
JSTJoseph Smith Translation of v. 4
Those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved;
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
