1How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?3Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! lest mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.5As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.6I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. *1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.2Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.3They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.5There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.6Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah was his refuge.7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

A Psalm of David.1Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.3He that slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;4In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;5He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
