Psalm 42:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

4 When I remember how my life was before,
    I am very upset and I weep.
Once I walked with a big crowd of people
    to worship God in his temple.
I led the people there as we sang happy songs,
    and we praised God with loud voices.[a]
5 Now I ask myself,
    ‘Why am I so sad and upset?’
I must wait patiently for God to help me.
Then I will praise my God once again,
    because he is the one who saves me.[b]

6 Deep inside me I am very sad.
So I will turn to you, my God, from where I am.
I will pray to you from Hermon mountain
    where the Jordan River begins,
    and from Mizar mountain.
