Psalm 42:6-11
New International Version
Psalm 42:6-11
New International Version
6 My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember(A) you
from the land of the Jordan,(B)
the heights of Hermon(C)—from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep(D)
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.(E)
8 By day the Lord directs his love,(F)
at night(G) his song(H) is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.(I)
9 I say to God my Rock,(J)
“Why have you forgotten(K) me?
Why must I go about mourning,(L)
oppressed(M) by the enemy?”(N)
10 My bones suffer mortal agony(O)
as my foes taunt(P) me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”(Q)
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.(R)
Psalm 42:6-11
King James Version
Psalm 42:6-11
King James Version
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Psalm 42:6-11
New King James Version
6 [a]O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From [b]the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
(A)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will (B)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And (C)in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
(D)“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a [c]breaking of my bones,
My enemies [d]reproach me,
(E)While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 (F)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The [e]help of my countenance and my God.
