Berean Standard Bible
“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.”
Psalms 42 and 43 were likely one poem, with this verse repeating the refrain that closes Psalm 42 twice. The writer feels far from the temple and worship, pressed by enemies, and deeply discouraged.
