Psalms 77:5
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint. Selah
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
7 “Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
