⁷ Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more?

¹ Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

⁵ Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

¹ I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

² God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:

³¹ For the Lord will not cast off for ever.

³² For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

²⁴ Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah.

²⁵ I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

²⁶ How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

⁴⁶ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? `How long' shall thy wrath burn like fire?

³⁸ But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

⁵ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

¹ O God, why hast thou cast `us' off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

⁹ But now thou hast cast `us' off, and brought us to dishonor, And goest not forth with our hosts.

²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand.

¹ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
