Psalm 42:9

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

⁸
Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song will be with me,
A prayer to the God of my life. ⁹ 
I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
¹⁰
As a crushing of my bones [with a sword], my adversaries taunt me,
While they say continually to me, “Where is your God?”
