Psalm 42

This is so good, from Psalm 42!

  1. O my soul, why are you cast down and in turmoil within me?  Hope in God!  I will surely praise Him again in the full salvation of His countenance.
  2. O my God, my soul is cast down within me.  Therefore, I will remember you from the land of Jordan and Hermon’s heights, from the mountain of Mizar.
  3. Deep is calling to deep in the sound of your waterspouts.  All your waves and billows have swept over me.
  4. By day, the Lord commands His loving-kindness, and by night, His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
  5. I say to God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?  Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
  6. As with a deadly blow in my bones, my adversaries reproach me every day, saying to me, “Where is your God?”
  7. O my soul, why are you cast down, and why are you in turmoil within me?  Hope in God!  I will surely praise Him again, the salvation of my whole being, and my God.

Whenever I start to feel pain, loneliness, hurt, discouraged I remember David stirring his soul!  I’ll call out to Jesus for help and he reminds me of all he’s done for me.  All his blessings come flooding in!  He sends me help in whatever way I need it!  It’s always perfect and it’s always on time!  He gives me a praise in my heart and stirs my soul!  What I love most is each time he does this for me, I feel like it’s going deeper in with an assurance Jesus will always be there for me.  I love that!  Feels good, safe and secure!
