Psalm 42:9

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

⁸ The Lord will send His faithful love by day;
His song will be with me in the night—
a prayer to the God of my life. ⁹ I will say to God, my rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?”
¹⁰ My adversaries taunt me,
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God?”
