day and night,
while people say to me continually,
“Where is your God?”(A)

how I went with the throng[a]
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.(B)
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise him,
my help(C) 6 and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your torrents;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.(D)
8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.(E)

“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I walk about mournfully

why have you cast me off?
Why must I walk about mournfully
because of the oppression of the enemy?(J)
