  1. Deuteronomy 4:48 Syriac (see also 3:9); Hebrew Siyon

when my nights were filled with joyful songs.
    I search my soul and ponder the difference now.
Has the Lord rejected me forever?
    Will he never again be kind to me?
Is his unfailing love gone forever?
    Have his promises permanently failed?
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.”
11 But then I recall all you have done, O Lord;
    I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.

I remembered my songs in the night.
    My heart meditated and my spirit asked:

“Will the Lord reject forever?(A)
    Will he never show his favor(B) again?
Has his unfailing love(C) vanished forever?
    Has his promise(D) failed for all time?
Has God forgotten to be merciful?(E)
    Has he in anger withheld his compassion?(F)

10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
    the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.(G)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles(H) of long ago.
