Psalms 42:5 in Context — Psalms 42

3 Minhas lágrimas têm sido [meu] alimento dia e noite, porque o dia todo me dizem: Onde [está] o teu Deus?

4 Disto eu me lembro, e derramo minha alma em mim [com choros] , porque eu ia entre a multidão, [e] com eles entrava na casa de Deus, com voz de alegria e louvor, na festa da multidão.

5 Minha alma, por que tu estás abatida, e te inquietas em mim? Espera em Deus; pois eu o louvarei pelas suas salvações.

6 Deus meu, minha alma está abatida dentro de mim; por isso eu me lembro de ti desde a terra do Jordão, e dos hermonitas, desde o monte Mizar.

7 Um abismo chama [outro] abismo, ao ruído de suas cascatas; todos as tuas ondas e vagas têm passado sobre mim.
