Psalm 42:4-8
New King James Version
4 When I remember these things,
(A)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
(B)I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 (C)Why are you [a]cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
(D)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;
(E)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will (F)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And (G)in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 73:21-26
New King James Version
21 Thus my heart was grieved,
And I was [a]vexed in my mind.
22 (A)I was so foolish and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
24 (B)You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
25 (C)Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26 (D)My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the [b]strength of my heart and my (E)portion forever.
