Psalm 77:5–7

5 I thought about the former days,

the years of long ago;

6 I remembered my songs in the night.

My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

7 “Will the Lord reject forever?

Will he never show his favor again?

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:

I commune with mine own heart:

And my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever?

And will he be favourable no more?

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?

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;

I meditate within my heart,

And my spirit makes diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off forever?

And will He be favorable no more?

5 I keep thinking about the old days,

the years of long ago.

6 At night I remember my songs.

I think and I ask myself:

7 “Will the Lord reject us forever?

Will he never be kind to us again?

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:

I commune with mine own heart;

And my spirit maketh diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever?

And will he be favorable no more?

5 I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

5 I have considered the days of old, 

the years long ago. 

6 I remember my song in the night 

and reflect ⸤on it⸥. 

My spirit searches ⸤for an answer⸥: 

7 Will the Lord reject ⸤me⸥ for all time? 

Will he ever accept me? 

5 I consider days of old,

years long past.

6 At night I remember my music;

I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.

7 “Will the Lord reject forever

and never again show favor?

5 I consider the days of old

and remember the years of long ago.

6 I commune with my heart in the night;

I meditate and search my spirit:

7 “Will the Lord spurn forever

and never again be favorable?

5 I think about the days from long ago,

the years of ancient times.

6 I remember my song in the night.

With my heart I meditate,

and my spirit searches to understand.

7 Will the Lord reject us forever,

and will he never be pleased with us again?

5 I thought about days gone by.

I thought about the years of long ago.

6 I remembered how I used to sing praise to you in the night.

I thought about it, and here is what I asked myself.

7 “Will the Lord turn away from us forever?

Won’t he ever show us his kindness again?

5 I have considered the days of old,

The years of long ago.

6 I will remember my song in the night;

I will meditate with my heart,

And my spirit ponders:

7 Will the Lord reject forever?

And will He never be favorable again?
