3In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; even with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
4I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. Pause.
5All mine enemies set a watch against me: I was troubled, and spoke not.
6I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
7And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, saying,
8Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
