O Lord, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate? ¹ 

How long, you sluggard, will you lie there? When will you rise from your sleep? ¹ 

When they were few in number, just a very few, and foreign residents within it,

Take notice of this, ¹  you ignorant people! ²  You fools, when will you ever understand?

When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident aliens within it,

My eyes grow tired as I wait for your promise to be fulfilled. ¹  I say, ²  “When will you comfort me?”

All my closest friends ¹  detest me; and those whom ²  I love have turned against me. ³ 

Will you keep to the old path ¹  that evil men have walked –

He says, ¹  “How long will you make unjust legal decisions and show favoritism to the wicked? ²  (Selah)

Turn back toward us, O Lord! How long must this suffering last? ¹  Have pity on your servants! ² 

How long must your servant endure this? ¹  When will you judge those who pursue me?

“How long must I see the enemy’s battle flags and hear the military signals of their bugles?” ¹ 

“I am a temporary settler ¹  among you. Grant ²  me ownership ³  of a burial site among you so that I may ⁴  bury my dead.” ⁵ 

So he ¹  said to her, “How often do you intend to get drunk? Put away your wine!”

If I lie down, I say, ¹  ‘When will I arise?’, and the night stretches on ²  and I toss and turn restlessly ³  until the day dawns.

For he ¹  knows deceitful ²  men; when he sees evil, will he not ³  consider it? ⁴ 

if ¹  the members of my household ²  have never said, ³  ‘If only there were ⁴  someone who has not been satisfied from Job’s ⁵  meat!’ –

I am absolutely terrified, ¹  and you, Lord – how long will this continue? ² 

I do not associate ¹  with deceitful men, or consort ²  with those who are dishonest. ³ 

My enemies ask this cruel question about me, ¹  ‘When will he finally die and be forgotten?’ ²
