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 Elohim’s house.
            I sang songs of joy and thanksgiving
                while crowds of people celebrated a festival.

Why are you discouraged, my soul?
    Why are you so restless?
        Put your hope in Elohim,
            because I will still praise him.
                He is my savior and my Elohim.

My soul is discouraged.
    That is why I will remember you
        in the land of Jordan, on the peaks of Hermon, on Mount Mizar.

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)

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.
