Вениамин Понкратов
How long, Lord?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide Your face from me?
Will I see it ever?

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
And day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
O Lord, please our communication restart

Look on me and answer, Lord my God
Give light to my eyes or I will sleep in death
And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
And my foes will rejoice when I fall with no breath

Bit I trust in Your unfailing love
My heart rejoices in Your salvation
I will sing the Lord’s praise
For He has been good to me, will sing to all generations
