Refrain

Why are you so depressed,[a] O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I will again praise him
    for salvation from his presence.[b]

Remembrance of the Lord

My God, my soul is depressed within me.
Therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan,
from the heights of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your rapids.
All your breakers and your waves have swept over me.
