Psalms 42:4 Context
2My soule thirsteth for God, for the liuing God: when shall I come and appeare before God? 3My teares haue bene my meate day and night; while they continually say vnto me, Where is thy God? 4When I remember these things, I powre out my soule in mee; for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God; with the voyce of ioy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. 5Why art thou cast downe, O my soule, and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him for the helpe of his countenance. 6O my God, my soule is cast downe within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Iordane, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Missar.
