42:5 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]Why R1264 are you in F375 R1265 despair, O my soul? And {why} have you become disturbed R1266 within me? Hope F376 R1267 in God, for I shall again F377 praise Him F378 {For} the help F379 R1268 of His presence.

42:9 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]I will say to God my R1276 rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning R1277 because F382 of the oppression R1278 of the enemy?"
42:10 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me, While they say R1279 to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
42:11 - [In Context |Original Hebrew ]Why R1280 are you in F383 despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope F384 in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help F385 of my countenance and my God.
