Berean Standard Bible
“O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon— even from Mount Mizar.”
Psalms 42 is the cry of a believer, traditionally a Levite, who is far from the temple and thirsts for God. The psalm repeatedly asks the soul why it is downcast and tells it to hope in God.
