Psalms 42:6
4 These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon— even from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
8 The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
