Psalm 42:8-10
New King James Version
8 The Lord will (A)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And (B)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,
(C)“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a [a]breaking of my bones,
My enemies [b]reproach me,
(D)While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
