8. By day the Lord decrees his loyal love,and by night he gives me a song,a prayer to the living God.
9. I will pray to God, my high ridge:“Why do you ignore me?Why must I walk around mourningbecause my enemies oppress me?”
10. My enemies’ taunts cut into me to the bone,as they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
11. Why are you depressed, O my soul?Why are you upset?Wait for God!For I will again give thanksto my God for his saving intervention.
