4 You would not let me sleep. I tried to say something, but I was too upset.
5 I kept thinking about the past, about things that happened long ago.
6 During the night, I thought about my songs. I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
7 I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever? Will he ever accept us again?
8 Is his love gone forever? Will he never again speak to us?
9 Has God forgotten what mercy is? Has his compassion changed to anger?” Selah
10 Then I said to myself, “What bothers me most is the thought that God Most High has lost his power.”
