For the end, A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will You forget me? Forever? How long will You turn away Your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

When he falls, he shall not be ruined; for the Lord supports his hand.

[A Psalm] of instruction, of Asaph. Why have You rejected [us], O God, forever? [Why] has Your wrath been kindled against the sheep of Your pasture?

But You have cast off and set at nought, You have rejected Your anointed.

How long, O Lord? Will You turn away, forever? Shall Your anger flame out as fire?

Shall anyone hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord.

How long shall [these things] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart?

For the Lord will not reject forever.

How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever? Shall Your jealousy burn like fire?

For the end, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. O Lord, You have taken pleasure in Your land; You have turned back the captivity of Jacob.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You continue Your wrath from generation to generation?
