Sharing of Psalm 42 & 43

Psalm 42 vs 5, vs 11 and Psalm 43 vs 5 are exactly the same, repeated 3 times!

The Psalmist could be trying to emphasise a point.
"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God!

He talks to his soul as if it is another person who he has no control over. He doesn't want to feel downcast but he can't help it and it could be the difficulties he is facing at present. Despite that he resolved to put his hope in God and PRAISE HIM!

There are many things out of our control but the one thing we can do is to CHOOSE to use our mouth to sing praises to God in whatever situations we are in. We can CHOOSE to put our hope in God who is forever faithful and always there for us! What is your choice?
