Psalms 77:7
5 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:
“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?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
