Psalm 42:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Psalm 42:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 You are my mighty rock.[a]
Why have you forgotten me?
Why must enemies mistreat me
and make me sad?
10 Even my bones are in pain,
while all day long
my enemies sneer and ask,
“Where is your God?”
11 Why am I discouraged?
Why am I restless?
I trust you, Lord!
And I will praise you again
because you help me,
and you are my God.

9 I say to God my Rock,(A)
“Why have you forgotten(B) me?
Why must I go about mourning,(C)
oppressed(D) by the enemy?”(E)
10 My bones suffer mortal agony(F)
as my foes taunt(G) me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”(H)

Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,

Psalm 42:9-11
King James Version
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.
