Tehillim (Psalms) 77:9-13

[Yedidyah]

Tehillim 77:9-13
9 Has God forgotten to be compassionate? Has he in anger withheld his mercy?" (Selah) 10 Then I add, "That's my weakness [supposing] the Most High's right hand could change." 11 So I will remind myself of Yah's doings; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. 12 I will meditate on your work and think about what you have done. 13 God, your way is in holiness. What god is as great as God?

We see here in this verse that “Then I add, “That’s MY weakness-(Supposing) the Most High’s right hand (Yeshua) could change.” We see this in many doctrines that try to base Messiah on an idea that he does indeed change. We know that Hashem does not change. This verse shows that it is because of our own weaknesses that we wish for a changing God. We look for an easy way out instead of placing our trust in Him. Messiah has not changed, rather man has placed their own ideas of what they want Messiah to look like and in turn make the commands of the Father void by continuing in their own traditions.
Hebrews 13:8
8 Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Bless and Keep!

The Psalmist here is a man under spiritual (demonic) attack. The part quoted is the crucial point where he can go either way; deny God or get control of himself and follow Him.

vs. 1-8 depict a man who cannot sleep. All his past sins and failures are being brought to mind. He is depressed, and the night presses in on him like a physical smothering force.

vs. 9-11 are where he starts to question God. We all question our standing before God at times. This is a very delicate time. NEVER take it lightly if someone is questioning their salvation. Likewise, when it is we ourselves who get to this point, we should do exactly what the Psalmist does next.

vs. 12 "I recall the deeds of the LORD." Remember who God is, what He has done for you.

vs. 13-21 The Psalmist remembers the works of God; the exodus which he relates to the very acts of creation and reorganization/repair of the world! He praises God! I'm guessing at this point the demons left him, his mind calmed and he got some sleep.

Taken out of context someone might be able to use the verses you quoted to say we should just abandon godliness. Taken in context they say just the opposite. It is a pattern of thought we have all been through many, many times. God always ends on a positive; so should we.
