Tune: Langran
('Here now, O Lord, I see thee face to face')
Psalm 42 v.6-11
*********
O my God, my soul is cast down in me
Therefore I will remember you simply
From my depths I do unto your depths call
When troubles as o'erwhelming waterfall
Yet the Lord will command loving kindness
In the daytime, and too at night will bless
His song shall be with me, and my prayer to
The God of my life, He will hear, renew
I will say to God my rock, Why have you
Forgotten me? Not shown me mercies true
Why go I mourning due to oppression
Of the enemy, save me from each one
For they do taunt and reproach me daily
Saying, Where is your God, where can He be?
Why cast down my soul, why disquieted?
I shall yet praise Him, He me thus far led

Always trying to second guess why things happen to us. I find it best to believe that everything has a purpose and happens for the best.
Thanks SB.
Questions, questions. And in times of conflict and distressful suffering, many ask and never get answers, but place their trust in their Maker regardless.
Thanks C.
I would give this 10/10 for spirituality
Thanks N. Yes, some Biblical/ spiritual themes we might find difficult to apply to our daily lives, as some may not seem relevant to us, or we may not personally experience some situations much in life, or not experience them very much.
But aside from my troubles with KP, for which there is no remedy (lol), we surely all experience troubles in some shape or form in life. So King David and the other Psalmists are not always trouble-free (David did not write ALL the Psalms), and they find expression in their writings.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
