"So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor? "
— Psalms 76:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,”
“Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still, ”
“You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,”
“From heaven you announced what their punishment would be. The earth was afraid and silent”
“Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?”
“From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,”
“Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,”
My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.
I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.
And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.
So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?
Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?
And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?
And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”
