The psalmist was puzzled and complained to God because God had cast off His people for a while (vv. 1-9). God has chosen us, and He will never forsake us (Deut. 31:6; Josh. 1:5; Heb. 13:5). He may allow us to depart from Him for a time; then He touches us, and we come back to Him (cf. Rom. 11:24-25).
