2 How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? (Ps 77:6) 3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, (1Sa 14:27; Ezr 9:8; Ps 5:1; Ps 19:8; Ps 119:153; Pr 29:13; Jer 51:39; Eph 1:18)

4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. (De 32:27; Ps 10:6) 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. (Ps 9:14; Ps 11:1) 6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Hilferuf eines Angefochtenen

1 Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen. 2 HERR, wie lange willst du mich so ganz vergessen? Wie lange verbirgst du dein Antlitz vor mir? (Ps 77:8; Hab 1:2) 3 Wie lange soll ich sorgen in meiner Seele / und mich ängsten in meinem Herzen täglich? Wie lange soll sich mein Feind über mich erheben? 4 Schaue doch und erhöre mich, HERR, mein Gott! Erleuchte meine Augen, dass ich nicht im Tode entschlafe, 5 dass nicht mein Feind sich rühme, er sei meiner mächtig geworden, und meine Widersacher sich freuen, dass ich wanke. 6 Ich traue aber darauf, dass du so gnädig bist; / mein Herz freut sich, dass du so gerne hilfst. Ich will dem HERRN singen, dass er so wohl an mir tut.

Preghiera fiduciosa durante l’afflizione

1 Al direttore del coro. Salmo di Davide. Fino a quando, o Signore, mi dimenticherai? Sarà forse per sempre? Fino a quando mi nasconderai il tuo volto? 2 Fino a quando avrò l’ansia nell’anima e l’affanno nel cuore tutto il giorno? Fino a quando s’innalzerà il nemico su di me? 3 Guarda, rispondimi, o Signore, mio Dio! Illumina i miei occhi perché io non mi addormenti del sonno della morte, 4 affinché il mio nemico non dica: «L’ho vinto!», e non esultino i miei avversari se io vacillo. 5 Quanto a me, io confido nella tua bontà; il mio cuore gioirà per la tua salvezza; io canterò al Signore perché m’ha fatto del bene.
