← Psalms 42:3	Psalms 42:4 (KJV)	Psalms 42:5 →
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?	When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.	Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance.
