5 Why art thou so cast down, my soul, [And why] so troubled and dismayed? Trust God, for I shall yet praise him, Whose [face and] favour is my aid.
5 Why art thou so cast down, my soul, [And why] so troubled and dismaid? Trust God, for I shall yet praise him, Whose [face and] favour is my aid.
6 My God, my soul's cast down in me, [But yet] remember thee I will; From Jordan's land, and Hermonites, And from the [place of] Mizar hill.
7 At thy great water-spout's loud noise, [Dreadful] deep unto deep doth call; Frightfully over me have gone Thy [rolling] waves and billows all.
7 At thy great water-spout's loud noise, [Dreadful] deep unto deep doth call; Frightfully over me have gone Thy [rowling] waves and billows all.
8 Yet will the Lord command for me His kindest love by [lightsome] day; By night his song shall be with me: To God my life [in faith] I'll pray.
