Psalm 42:3-5
GOD’S WORD Translation
3 My tears are my food day and night.
People ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 I will remember these things as I pour out my soul:
how I used to walk with the crowd
and lead it in a procession to God’s house.
⌞I sang⌟ songs of joy and thanksgiving
while crowds of people celebrated a festival.
5 Why are you discouraged, my soul?
Why are you so restless?
Put your hope in God,
because I will still praise him.
He is my savior and my God.
Psalm 42:3-5
New International Version
3 My tears(A) have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”(B)
4 These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:(C)
how I used to go to the house of God(D)
under the protection of the Mighty One[a]
with shouts of joy(E) and praise(F)
among the festive throng.(G)
