Psalm 42:3-9
New American Standard Bible
3 My (A)tears have been my food day and night,
While they (B)say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 I remember these things and (C)pour out my soul within me.
For I (D)used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God,
With a voice of (E)joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.
5 (F)Why are you [a](G)in despair, my soul?
And why are you (H)restless within me?
(I)Wait for God, for I will [b]again praise [c]Him
For the [d](J)help of His [e]presence, my God.
6 My soul is [f]in despair within me;
Therefore I (K)remember You from (L)the land of the Jordan
And the [g]peaks of (M)Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your (N)breakers and Your waves have passed over me.
8 The Lord will (O)send His goodness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me (P)in the night,
A prayer to (Q)the God of my life.
9 I will say to God (R)my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go about (S)mourning [h]because of the (T)oppression of the enemy?”
