Psalm 42:8-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,and 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 do I go mourningbecause of the oppression of the enemy?”

10. As with a deadly wound in my bones,my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long,“Where is your God?”

11. Why are you cast down, O my soul,and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,my salvation and my God.
