2 In the day of my affliction I sought God with my hands in the night before him; and I was not disappointed. My soul had refused to be comforted;
3 I remembered God and was made glad; I meditated, though my spirit was in despondency.
4 All mine enemies had previously mounted guard; I was troubled and did not speak.
5 I considered the days of old: I recollected the years of ancient times;
6 I meditated at night; I conversed with my heart; I searched my spirit diligently.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever, and will he no more be favourable?
8 Will he entirely cut off mercy, from generation to generation?
9 Will God forget to be gracious? Will he in his anger restrain his compassion?
10 Then I said, I have now made a beginning; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
11 I called to remembrance the works of the Lord. Seeing I can remember thy wonders of old:
12 let me therefore meditate on all thy works, and muse on thine institutions.
