‏ Psalms 77:7-9

7 I asked, ^{▼▼tn As in vv. 4 and 6a, the words of vv. 7-9 are understood as a quotation of what the psalmist said earlier. Therefore the words “I asked” are supplied in the translation for clarification.} “Will the Lord reject me forever?
Will he never again show me his favor?
8 Has his loyal love disappeared forever?
Has his promise ^{▼▼tn Heb “word,” which may refer here to God’s word of promise (note the reference to “loyal love” in the preceding line).} failed forever?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has his anger stifled his compassion?” (Selah)
