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?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
10 Then I said, “I am sickened by the thoughtthat the sovereign One might become inactive.
11 I will remember the works of the Lord.Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago!
