[[To him that excelleth.] A Psalm Chapter of David.][1]How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?[2]How long shall I take counsel within myself, having weariness daily in mine heart? How long shall mine enemy be exalted above me?[3]Behold, and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death:[4]Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: and they that afflict me, rejoice when I slide.[5]But I trust in thy mercy: mine heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, because he hath dealt lovingly with me. NOTE: Beginning with "I will sing . . . . " appears as verse[6]in the Bishop's King James Bible.
