Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8 H as His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever?

9 H as God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.

Then said I, This is my weakness:—the years of the right hand of the Most High

11 I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

Will I remember,—the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,

12 I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds.

And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.

20 Y ou led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
