Context of Psalms 77:6
4You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak. 5I considered the days of old, the years long in the past. At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered: 7“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again? 8Is His loving devotion gone forever?
