We need Strength

Psalm 42:5-11

5 

Why, my soul, are you downcast?

    Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

    for I will yet praise him,

    my Savior and my God.

6 

My soul is downcast within me;

    therefore I will remember you

from the land of the Jordan,

    the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

7 

Deep calls to deep

    in the roar of your waterfalls;

all your waves and breakers

    have swept over me.

8 

By day the Lord directs his love,

    at night his song is with me—

    a prayer to the God of my life.

9 

I say to God my Rock,

    “Why have you forgotten me?

Why must I go about mourning,

    oppressed by the enemy?”

10 

My bones suffer mortal agony

    as my foes taunt me,

saying to me all day long

    “Where is your God?”

11 

Why, my soul, are you downcast?

    Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

    for I will yet praise him,

my Savior and my God.
