Psalms 42:5 - John Wesley's Notes

Psalms 42:5

3 ^aMy tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
^b“Where is your God?”

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.

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.

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.

7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
^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.
