77:5 I thought about the days of old,
about ancient times.
77:6 I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang;

Has his promise failed forever?
77:9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
77:10 Then I said, “I am sickened by the thought
that the sovereign One might become inactive.
