10 Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you.
You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you.
So you may plant the finest grapevines
and import the most expensive seedlings.
11 They may sprout on the day you set them out;
yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them,
but you will never pick any grapes from them.
Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.

11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(F) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(G) will be as nothing(H)
in the day of disease and incurable(I) pain.(J)
Psalm 77:5-10
New Living Translation
Psalm 77:5-10
New Living Translation
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.”
Psalm 77:5-10
New International Version
Psalm 77:5-10
New International Version
5 I thought about the former days,(A)
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?(B)
Will he never show his favor(C) again?
8 Has his unfailing love(D) vanished forever?
Has his promise(E) failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?(F)
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?(G)”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.(H)
