American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?How long shall thy wrath burn like fire?
Oh remember how short my time is:For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!
What man is he that shall live and not see death,That shall deliver his soul from the {Hebrew: hand.}power of Sheol? [Selah
Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses,Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the {Or, many}mighty peoples,
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah,Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,Having sorrow in my heart all the day?How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God:Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
I call to remembrance my song in the night:I commune with mine own heart;And my spirit maketh diligent search.
Will the Lord cast off for ever?And will he be favorable no more?
Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever?Doth his promise fail for evermore?
And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
