Psalm 42:7-9

Living Bible

⁷All your waves and billows have gone over me, and floods of sorrow pour upon me like a thundering cataract.^[a]

⁸Yet day by day the Lord also pours out his steadfast love upon me, and through the night I sing his songs and pray to God who gives me life.

⁹“O God my Rock,” I cry, “why have you forsaken me? Why must I suffer these attacks from my enemies?”

Psalm 42:7 floods of sorrow pour upon me like a thundering cataract, literally, “deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.”

at night^(D) his song^(E) is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.^(F)

Why must I go about mourning,^(I)
oppressed^(J) by the enemy?”^(K)
