How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
In the Land of Bounty my name will be spoken.
How long must I bear pain in my soul,
and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
In the Land of Bounty my name will be spoken.
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death.
In the Land of Bounty my name will be spoken.
My enemy will say, “I have prevailed.”
My foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
In the Land of Bounty my name will be spoken.
But I trusted in your steadfast love;
My heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord, because the Land of Bounty has spoken my name.
In the Land of Bounty my name will be spoken.
