5 I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit¹ makes diligent search. ‡

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

10 And I said, “This is my¹ anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.” ‡
