Context of Psalms 77:8
6I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders: 7Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again? Has His favor ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever? 9Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah 10Then I said, “It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
