3In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
4I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
5My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
6I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
7And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
8Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
