Psalms 42:7-11

7I hear your waterfalls make a noise like thunder. It seems like all that water is pouring over me and it knocks me down to the ground.

8Each day, the Lord shows me that he loves me with his faithful love. Each night he gives me a song to sing, as I pray to the God who lives for ever.

9I say to God, who is my high rock, ‘Why have you forgotten me? Why must I be so sad? How much longer must I continue to weep, because my enemies do cruel things to me?’

10My enemies laugh at me all the time. It is like they are breaking all my bones. They are always saying, ‘Where is your God?’

11I ask myself again, ‘Why am I so sad and upset?’ I must wait patiently for God to help me. Then I will praise my God once again, because he is the one who saves me.
