4You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.
5I think of the old days, years ago.
6I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:
7Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?
8Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?
9Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? Selah.
10Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”
11I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.
12I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.
13God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?
14You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.
15Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
