Psalm 42:3

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?

² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God?
³ My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
⁴ These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

All Day Long

Day and Night

Why should they among the peoples say,
‘Where is their God?’”

Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”

Like mire of the streets.
