When I remember these things,
    I pour out my soul within me.
For I would travel with the throng of people;
    I proceeded with them to the house of God,
with the voice of joy and thanks,
    with a multitude making a pilgrimage.

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
    And why are you disquieted in me?
Hope in God,
    for I will yet thank Him
    for the help of His presence.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I will remember You
from the land of Jordan,
    and of the Hermon, from the hill of Mizar.

These things I remember
    as I pour out my soul:(A)
how I used to go to the house of God(B)

with shouts of joy(C) and praise(D)
    among the festive throng.(E)

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)

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.
