Why Am I Discouraged?
Hope in GOD!

¹ As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for You, O God.

² I thirst for God, the living God.
    When can I go and stand before Him?
³ Day and night I have only tears for food,
    while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
    “So,where is this God of yours?”

⁴ My heart is breaking as I remember

how it used to be:
I walked among the crowds of worshipers,
    leading a great processionto the house of God,
and singing for joy and giving thanks
    amid the sound of a great celebration!

⁵ Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
    I will praise Him again — my Savior

and ⁶ my God!

Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you—
even from distant Mount Hermon, the source of the Jordan,
    from the land of Mount Mizar.
⁷ I hear the tumult of the raging seas
    as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.
⁸ But each day the Lord pours His unfailing
love upon me, and through each night I sing His songs,
    praying to God who gives me life.

⁹ “O God my Rock,”I cry out,
    “Why have You forgotten me, my Lord?
Why must I wander around in grief,
    oppressedby my enemies?”
¹⁰ Their taunts break my bones.
    They scoff, “Where is this God of yours?”

¹¹ Why am I discouraged?
    Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
    I will praise Him again — my Savior and my God!
