Psalms 42:7-11

7Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your 1breakers and Your waves have passed over me.8The Lord will 2send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me 3in the night, A prayer to 4the God of my life.

9I will say to God 5my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go about 6mourning 7because of the 8oppression of the enemy?”10As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries taunt me, While they 9say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”1110Why are you 11in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise 12Him For the 13help of His presence, my God.
