Why, my soul, are you downcast?(A)
    Why so disturbed(B) within me?
Put your hope in God,(C)
    for I will yet praise(D) him,
    my Savior(E) and my God.(F)

My soul is downcast within me;
    therefore I will remember(G) you
from the land of the Jordan,(H)
    the heights of Hermon(I)—from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep(J)
    in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
    have swept over me.(K)

By day the Lord directs his love,(L)
    at night(M) his song(N) is with me—
    a prayer to the God of my life.(O)

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
