These things I remember,
    as I (A)pour out my soul:
(B)how I would go (C)with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    (D)a multitude keeping festival.
(E)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you (F)in turmoil within me?
(G)Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation[a] and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I (H)remember you
(I)from the land of Jordan and of (J)Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
