You keep my eyelids from closing;
    I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
I consider the days of old
    and remember the years of long ago.(A)
I commune[a] with my heart in the night;
    I meditate and search my spirit:[b](B)
“Will the Lord spurn forever
    and never again be favorable?(C)
Has his steadfast love ceased forever?
    Are his promises at an end for all time?(D)
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah(E)
10 And I say, “It is my grief
    that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”(F)

11 I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord;
    I will remember your wonders of old.(G)
12 I will meditate on all your work
    and muse on your mighty deeds.
