Question for My Soul

Question For My Soul

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him
for the help of his countenance.
Psalm 42:5

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
My spirit is beset by afflictions;
My heart weighed down by lamentations;
My soul pays dearly for sin collections;
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

hope thou in God:
He has sent His love to each generation;
He has sent His laws to each dispensation;
He has sent one of his Manifestations;
hope thou in God:

for I shall yet praise him
I shall magnify His glorious name;
The Cause of His Promised One acclaim;
I will spread planet-wide His Kingdom's fame;
for I shall yet praise him

for the help of his countenance.
The laws brough by His Manifestation;
The Tablets of His Revelation;
His world encompassing dispensation;
for the help of his countenance.
