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.

(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.

[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.
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
(E)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
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.

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.

And afterward receive me to glory.
