Psalm 42:1-11 - Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
1 BOOK II
(Psalms 42–72)For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
so I long for You, God.
When can I come and appear before God?
while all day long people say to me,
“Where is your God?”
how I walked with many,
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
with joyful and thankful shouts.
5
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan
and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me.
His song will be with me in the night—
a prayer to the God of my life.
9
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?”
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God?”
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
