The chapter as it stands, read forward into the canon it would help write. Beside each verse, the New Testament places that quote, allude to, or echo it — follow any to read it in its own argument. The verse number opens its full reception dossier.
1
How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
4
Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5
But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6
I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
