4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
7“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
8Has his cheshed ·loving-kindness· vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his racham ·compassionate love·?” Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of haElyon the Most High.”
