Psalm 42:2-4

2 (A)My soul thirsts for God, for the (B)living God.
When shall I come and [a]appear before God?

While they continually say to me,
(D)“Where is your God?”
4 When I remember these things,
(E)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
(F)I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

Lamentations 2:6-7
New King James Version
6 He has done violence (A)to His [a]tabernacle,
(B)As if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has (C)spurned the king and the priest.
7 The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has (D)abandoned His sanctuary;
He has [b]given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
(E)They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.

3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who (A)plundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

In a foreign land?

Let my (B)tongue cling to the roof of my mouth—
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
