⁷ “Will the Lord spurn forever
    and never again be favorable?^(A)
8 Has his steadfast love ceased forever?
    Are his promises at an end for all time?^(B)
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah^(C)

59 See, the Lord’s arm is not too short to save,
    nor his ear too dull to hear.^(A)
2 Rather, your iniquities have been barriers
    between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you
    so that he does not hear.^(B)

³ things that we have heard and known,
    that our ancestors have told us.^(A)
4 We will not hide them from their children;
    we will tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord and his might
    and the wonders that he has done.^(B)

¹ We have heard with our ears, O God;
    our ancestors have told us
what deeds you performed in their days,
    in the days of old:^(A)

¹⁵ Look down from heaven and see,
    from your holy and glorious habitation.
Where are your zeal and your might?
    Your great pity and your compassion are withheld from me.^(A)
