Psalm 42:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]Mine tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remembered [b]these things, I poured out my very heart, because I had gone with the multitude, and led them into the house of God with the voice of singing, and praise, as a multitude that keepeth a feast.
5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and unquiet within me? [c]wait on God: for I will yet give him thanks for the help of his presence.
