BOOK TWO: Psalms 42—72 Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
4 When I remember these things,
aI pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
bI went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
aI pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
bI went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 aWhy are you1 cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
bHope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
1For the help of His countenance.
And why are you disquieted within me?
bHope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
1For the help of His countenance.
6 1O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from1 the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
Therefore I will remember You from1 the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
aAll Your waves and billows have gone over me.
aAll Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will acommand His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And bin the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
And bin the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
a“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
a“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a1 breaking of my bones,
My enemies1 reproach me,
aWhile they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
My enemies1 reproach me,
aWhile they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 aWhy are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The1 help of my countenance and my God.
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The1 help of my countenance and my God.
