How long shall I ^(C)take counsel in my soul,
Having ^(D)sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

^{Tools

^(E)Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
^(F)Enlighten my eyes, or I will ^(G)sleep the sleep of death,

^{Tools

And my enemy will ^(H)say, “I have overcome him,”
And ^(I)my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

^{Tools

But I have ^(J)trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall ^(K)rejoice in Your salvation.

I will ^(L)sing to the Lord,
Because He has ^(M)dealt bountifully with me.
