The second night of the soul

(My soul is cast down over me)
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
From the mountains (- being small -)
abyss to abyss (- calling out -)
at the thunder of your cataracts;

all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.

By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
(speaking) to God, my rock,

“Why have you forgotten me?
Why (did it become dark)
(do I get children
while) the enemy oppresses me?”

As with a deadly wound in my (bones),
my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me
(all day),

“Where is your God?”

Why are you cast down, O my soul,

and why are you (roaring against) me?

Hope in God;

for I shall again praise him,

(salvations

my face)

and my God.
