Psalm 42:3-5
Legacy 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 These things I remember and I (C)pour out my soul within me.
For I (D)used to go along with the throng and [a]lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the sound of a (E)shout of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.
5 (F)Why are you [b](G)in despair, O my soul?
And why are you (H)disturbed within me?
(I)Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
[c]For the [d](J)salvation of His presence.

3 (A)My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
(B)“Where is your God?”

(C)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;

With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
