Psalm 42

BibleGateway.com Psalm 42

Is it right to look introspectively at yourself? What do you see?
Ask, why are you so downcast, O my soul?

Why?

My enemies seem to triumph. My life is full of discontent and bad feelings. Clutter and chaos crowd into my life when I seek order. Complacency crushes my desire for spontaneity.

I lack the discipline necessary to get where I most desire. My drive does not push as far as I want. The trap of this life holds me. My world is small, and my actions are insignificant. The daily grind conforms me to the American rut.

BUT, put your hope in God. I WILL yet praise him, my saviour and my God. Lord this soul is crushed, I will be weak so you will be strong. Be my joy. The waves have washed over me. I can hold to nothing else. Why must I be oppressed by the enemy LORD?

Save me, hold me, I want to see your face Lord Jesus. This flesh is rotting on me. Please God take it and make it alive. I want to finish this now and see what you have for eternity.
I will yet praise him. I will yet praise him...
