To the chief Musician
A Psalm of David
- How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever?
- How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
- How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
- Having sorrow in my heart daily?
- How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
- Consider and hear me, O Lord my God:
- Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
- Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
- And those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
- But I have trusted in thy mercy;
- My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
- I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

To the chief Musician
A Psalm of David
- The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
- They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
- There is none that doeth good.
- The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
- To see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
