6. During the night, I thought about my songs. I talked to myself, trying to understand what is happening.
7. I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever? Will he ever accept us again?
8. Is his love gone forever? Will he never again speak to us?

10. Then I said to myself, “What bothers me most is the thought that God Most High has lost his power.”
11. Lord, I remember what you have done. I remember the amazing things you did long ago.
