“Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God!For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.”
Psalm 42:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3My tears have been my food day and night,while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?” 4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day. 5Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God!For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. 6My God, my soul is in despair within me.Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar. 7Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
