Psalms 42:6-11

6O my God, my soul is in despair within me [the burden more than I can bear]; Therefore I will [fervently] remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of [Mount] Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

7Deep calls to deep at the [thundering] sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

8Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song will be with me, A prayer to the God of my life.

9I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10As a crushing of my bones [with a sword], my adversaries taunt me, While they say continually to me, “Where is your God?”

11Why are you in despair, O my soul? Why have you become restless and disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
