2  O Lord, ^bhow long shall I cry for help,

and you will not hear?

Or cry to you ^c“Violence!”

and you will not save?

1  ^vHow long, O Lord? Will you ^wforget me forever?

How long will you ^xhide your face from me?

2  How long must I take ^ycounsel in my soul

and have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

1  ^uMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so ^vfar from saving me, from the words of my ^wgroaning?

2  O my God, I cry by ^xday, but you do not answer,

and by night, but I find no rest.

9  Why should you be like a man confused,

^llike a mighty warrior who cannot save?

Yet ^myou, O Lord, are in the midst of us,

and ⁿwe are called by your name;

^odo not leave us.”

9  We do not see our ^lsigns;

^mthere is no longer any prophet,

and there is none among us who knows how long.

10  How long, O God, ⁿis the foe to scoff?

Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

3  O Lord, ^uhow long shall the wicked,

how long shall ^vthe wicked exult?

8  though ^tI call and cry for help,

he shuts out my prayer;
