⁷ “Will the Lord ^(A)spurn forever,
    and never again ^(B)be favorable?
⁸ Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
    Are his ^(C)promises at an end for all time?
^9 (D)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
    ^(E)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

⁷ Your wrath ^(A)lies heavy upon me,
    and you overwhelm me with ^(B)all your waves. Selah

¹⁵ Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
    I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.^[a]

¹⁶ Your wrath has swept over me;
    your ^(A)dreadful assaults destroy me.
