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 seek counsel in my soul, and be so | vexed • in my | heart? ||

how | long • shall mine | ene•mies | triumph • over me? ||

2 How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so | vexed • in my | heart? ||

how | long • shall mine | ene•my | triumph • over me? ||

3 Consider, and hear me, O | Lord my | God; ||

lighten mine | eyes, • that I | 3 sleep not • in | death; ||

4 Lest mine enemy say, 3 I | have pre- | vailed a•gainst him: ||

for if I be cast down, they that | trouble • me | will re- | joice • at it. ||

5 But my | trust is • in thy | mercy, ||

and my heart is | 3 joyful in | thy sal- | vation. ||

6 I will sing of the Lord, because he hath | dealt so | lovingly • with me; ||

yea, I will praise the | Name • of the | Lord Most | Highest. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
