Interpretation of the Bible / Psalm 42:11
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Faith always has the last word. Do not be discouraged. Do not lose heart. Trust in God; He will deliver you from your oppressors and from your sorrow. You will yet praise Him as your God and Savior. As someone said:
“The cure is to resist melancholy, to look boldly to the future, to hope. The Christian life consists in being prepared for the struggle, to strive higher and higher, to be active, to run your course. But there is no room in it for lowering your eyes, folding your hands and admitting defeat.”
