Excerpt

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation . 6 I will sing unto the Lord , because he hath dealt bountifully with me. TG Despair . D&C 121:1 (1–2) . TG Suffering . Ps. 55:17 (16–18) . 1 Sam. 2:1 (1–10) .
