Classic Poem

1. How long, Jehovah, wilt Thou me forget for aye? How long-while wilt thou hide
2. Jehovah, O my God, Behold me answer make; Illuminate mine eyes,
Thy face from me away? How long shall in my soul I counsels set, daily
Lest sleep of death me take. Lest that my foe do say, 'Gainst him prevailed have I;
I counsels set, daily
'Gainst him prevailed have I;
Sad sorrow in my heart; How long shall my foe be Exalted above me?
Mine adversaries, they Exult will gladsomely When moved be shall I.

3. But I do repose
Assured trustfulness
In thy mercy; my heart
Shall show forth gladsomeness
In my salvation;
I sing will cheerfully
Unto th' Eternal One,
For bounteously hath he
Rewarded unto me.
