Those times I recall
    as I pour out my soul,(A)
When I would cross over to the shrine of the Mighty One,[a]
    to the house of God,
Amid loud cries of thanksgiving,
    with the multitude keeping festival.(B)
Why are you downcast, my soul;
    why do you groan within me?
Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,
    my savior and my God.

From the land of the Jordan[b] and Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar,(C)
