5. I think of days gone byand remember years of long ago.
6. I spend the night in deep thought;I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
7. “Will the Lord always reject us?Will he never again be pleased with us?
8. Has he stopped loving us?Does his promise no longer stand?
9. Has God forgotten to be merciful?Has anger taken the place of his compassion?”
10. Then I said, “What hurts me most is this —that God is no longer powerful.”
11. I will remember your great deeds, Lord;I will recall the wonders you did in the past.
12. I will think about all that you have done;I will meditate on all your mighty acts.
13. Everything you do, O God, is holy.No god is as great as you.
14. You are the God who works miracles;you showed your might among the nations.
15. By your power you saved your people,the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.
16. When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid,and the depths of the sea trembled.
