Psalms 42:3-9

³My tears have been my only food, day and night, while people ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

⁴I am crushed as I remember how I walked with the crowds, leading them in a procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and songs of thanks among the worshipers at the festival.

⁵Why am I so discouraged? Why do I feel so sad? I will hope in God; I will praise him because he is the one who saves me—

⁶my God! Even though I am very discouraged, I still remember you: from the land of Jordan and Hermon, and from Mount Mizar.

⁷You thunder through the raging waters, through the noise of the waterfalls. Your crashing waves surge over me—I feel like I'm drowning.

⁸But every day the Lord shows me his trustworthy love; every night he gives me songs to sing—a prayer to the God of my life.

⁹I cry out, “My God, my rock, why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around weeping because of the attacks of my enemies?”
