i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par How long will You forget me, O Jehovah? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my inner being daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Though he fall, he shall not be cast down, for Jehovah upholds his hand.

i1 [Maschil of Asaph.] i0 par O God, have You cast us off forever? Will Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

But You have cast off and rejected, You have passed over Your anointed.

How long, Jehovah? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your fury burn like fire?

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and earth? says Jehovah.

How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,

For the Lord will not cast off forever;

for though He causes grief, yet He will have compassion according to the multitude of His kindness.

I say then, has God cast away His people? Let it not be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

How long, Jehovah? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

i1 [To the chief Musician. A Psalm for the sons of Korah.] i0 par Lord, You have been gracious to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger from generation to generation?
