Psalms 77:6
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
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?
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
