2 In my time of trouble I sought the Lord.I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night.I refused to be comforted.
3 I said, “I will remember God while I groan;I will think about him while my strength leaves me.” (Selah)
4 You held my eyelids open;I was troubled and could not speak.
5 I thought about the days of old,about ancient times.
6 I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang;I will think very carefully.”I tried to make sense of what was happening.
7 I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever?Will he never again show me his favor?
8 Has his loyal love disappeared forever?Has his promise failed forever?
