These things I remember and I (A)pour out my soul within me.
For I (B)used to go along with the throng and [a]lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the sound of a (C)shout of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

(D)Why are you [b](E)in despair, O my soul?
And why are you (F)disturbed within me?
(G)Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
[c]For the [d](H)salvation of His presence.
O my God, my soul is [e]in despair within me;
Therefore I (I)remember You from (J)the land of the Jordan
And the [f]peaks of (K)Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
