Psalms 42:5-9

⁵Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.

⁶I am sunk in my misery; I will therefore call you to mind from the land of Jordan and Hermon, the mountain Mizar.

⁷Flood is calling to flood at the noise of your cataracts; all your waves and your breakers have passed over me.

⁸In the day I cry to the Lord to summon his kindness; and the song that I sing in the night is a prayer to the living God.

⁹I say to God my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?”
