Context of Psalms 77:7
5I thought about the days of old, about ancient times. 6I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening. I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor? 8Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever? 9Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
