Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
My tears have been my food day and night,
These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer tothe God of my life.
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me!
Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
(Psalms 42-43)
