³ I remembered^(F) you, God, and I groaned;^(G)
    I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.^[b](H)

⁷ “Will the Lord reject forever?^(A)
    Will he never show his favor^(B) again?
⁸ Has his unfailing love^(C) vanished forever?
    Has his promise^(D) failed for all time?
⁹ 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.
¹² I will consider^(I) all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”^(J)

¹⁵ With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,^(A)
    the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
