Psalm 42:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

^5-6 Why am I so sad?
    Why am I so upset?
I tell myself, “Wait for God’s help!
    You will again be able to praise him,
    your God, the one who will save you.”
In my sadness I say, “I will remember you from here on this small hill,^[a]
    where Mount Hermon and the Jordan River meet.”
⁷ I hear the roar of the water coming from deep within the earth.
    It shouts to the water below as it tumbles down the waterfall.
God, your waves come one after another,
    crashing all around and over me.^[b]

⁸ By day the Lord shows his faithful love,
    and at night I have a song for him—a prayer for the God of my life.^[c]
