Psalm 42:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 My (A)tears have been my food day and night,
While they (B)say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember and I (C)pour out my soul within me.
For I (D)used to go along with the throng and [a]lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the voice of (E)joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.
5 (F)Why are you [b](G)in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become (H)disturbed within me?
[c](I)Hope in God, for I shall [d]again praise [e]Him
For the [f](J)help of His presence.
