Psalm 42:5-11
New King James Version
5 (A)Why are you [a]cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
(B)Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
[b]For the help of His countenance.
6 [c]O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From [d]the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
(C)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will (D)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And (E)in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
(F)“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a [e]breaking of my bones,
My enemies [f]reproach me,
(G)While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 (H)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The [g]help of my countenance and my God.
