5 Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?Why are you so upset inside?Hope in God!Because I will again give him thanks,my saving presence and my God.
6 My whole being is depressed.That’s why I remember youfrom the land of Jordan and Hermon,from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep called to deep at the noise of your waterfalls;all your massive waves surged over me.
8 By day the Lord commands his faithful love;by night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God, my solid rock,"Why have you forgotten me?Why do I have to walk around,sad, oppressed by enemies?"
10 With my bones crushed, my foes make fun of me,constantly questioning me: "Where’s your God now?"
11 Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?Why are you so upset inside?Hope in God!Because I will again give him thanks,my saving presence and my God.
