Psalms 42:5 in Context — Psalms 42

3 Fueron mis lágrimas mi pan de día y de noche, mientras me dicen todos los días: ¿Dónde está tu Dios?

4 Acordaréme de estas cosas, y derramaré sobre mí mi alma: cuando pasaré en el número, iré con ellos hasta la casa de Dios, con voz de alegría y de alabanza, haciendo fiesta la multitud.

5 ¿Por qué te abates, oh alma mía, y te conturbas en mí? Espera á Dios; porque aun le tengo de alabar por las saludes de su presencia.

6 Dios mío, mi alma está en mí abatida: acordaréme por tanto de ti desde tierra del Jordán, y de los Hermonitas, desde el monte de Mizhar.

7 Un abismo llama á otro á la voz de tus canales: todas tus ondas y tus olas han pasado sobre mí.
