That He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you Less than your iniquity deserves.
“ Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea— Therefore my words have been rash.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted.I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. SelahYou hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
