“Why are you cast down?
O my soul!
Why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God!
I shall again praise him!
My help!
My God!”
This is an exact repeat of the refrain that ended Psalm 42. The psalmist accused his soul of upsetting him. He was going to hope in God. He would sing his praises again. God was his help. Thus despite some grievances, this northern psalmist still believed and praised God.
