5 I think of the good old days,long since ended,
6 when my nights were filled with joyful songs.I search my soul and ponder the difference now.
7 Has the Lord rejected me forever?Will he never again be kind to me?
8 Is his unfailing love gone forever?Have his promises permanently failed?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?Has he slammed the door on his compassion?Interlude
10 And I said, “This is my fate;the Most High has turned his hand against me.”
11 But then I recall all you have done, O lord;I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.
