5 Thy dealings in the days of old I then did [mind and] think upon, ⟨p. 125⟩What thou in former ancient times Hast for [me and] thy people done.
6 My songs by night I called to mind; I [searched and] communed with my heart; My spirit diligently fought The cause [and cure] of all my smart.
6 My songs by night I call'd to mind; I [search'd and] commun'd with my heart; My spirit diligently fought The cause [and cure] of all my smart.
7 For ever will the Lord cast off? And [will he] gracious be no more?
8 For ever is his mercy gone? Fails his [good] word [for] evermore?
