Antiphon:
Why are you so heavy my soul? Why are you disquieted within me?
Trust in God, I will give thanks for my salvation. (Emergent Psalter by Isaac Everett)
4 Let me come to God’s altar—
let me come to God, my joy, my delight—
then I will give you thanks with the lyre,
God, my God!
5 Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed?
Why are you so upset inside?
Hope in God!
Because I will again give him thanks,
my saving presence and my God. (Psalm 43:4-5, Common English Bible)
