I wondered, “Has our Lord rejected us forever? Will he ever accept us again?
Lord, you have been so kind to your land. You have brought success again to the people of Jacob.
Lord, how long will this continue? Will you ignore us forever? Will your anger burn like a fire forever?
Will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger reach to our children and to their children?
But now, Lord, you have become angry with your chosen king, and you have left him all alone.
If they stumble, they will not fall, because the Lord reaches out to steady them.
Lord, will you be angry with us forever? Will your strong feelings continue to burn like a fire?
God, why have you turned away from us for so long? Why are you still angry with us, your own flock?
But you left us and put us to shame. You did not go with us into battle.
Give the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him!
