Psalm 42:4-6
Contemporary English Version

4 Sorrow floods my heart,
    when I remember
leading the worshipers
    to your house.[a]
I can still hear them shout
    their joyful praises.
5 Why am I discouraged?
Why am I restless?
    I should trust you, Lord.
I will praise you again
because you help me,
6     and you are my God.

I am deeply discouraged,
    and so I think about you
here where the Jordan begins
at Mount Hermon
    and at Mount Mizar.[b]

Psalm 42:4-6
New International Version

4 These things I remember
    as I pour out my soul:(A)
how I used to go to the house of God(B)
    under the protection of the Mighty One[a]
with shouts of joy(C) and praise(D)
    among the festive throng.(E)

5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?(F)
    Why so disturbed(G) within me?
Put your hope in God,(H)
    for I will yet praise(I) him,
    my Savior(J) and my God.(K)

6 My soul is downcast within me;
    therefore I will remember(L) you
from the land of the Jordan,(M)
    the heights of Hermon(N)—from Mount Mizar.
