Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 43 of Psalms. Psalm 43 continues closely the lament of Psalm 42 and asks God to act as judge and guide. The request to send light and truth refers not simply to information, but to divine intervention leading the petitioner back to the sanctuary. The movement culminates at the altar and in God as joy. The final refrain again asks the soul why it should be downcast when it can still hope in God.

¿Por qué estás abatida, alma mía, y por qué gimes dentro de mí? Espera en Dios, porque aún lo alabaré, salvación mía y Dios mío.
Pourquoi t'abats-tu, mon âme, et gémis-tu au dedans de moi? Espère en Dieu, car je le louerai encore; Il est mon salut et mon Dieu.
Perchè ti abbatti, anima mia? e perchè ti commovi in me? Aspetta Iddio; perciocchè ancora lo celebrerò; Egli è la compiuta salvezza della mia faccia, e il mio Dio
Por que estás abatida, ó minha alma? E por que te perturbas dentro de mim? Espera em Deus, pois ainda o louvarei, o qual é a salvação da minha face e Deus meu.
我的心哪,你為何憂悶? 為何在我裏面煩躁? 應當仰望上帝, 我還要稱謝他,我當面的拯救,我的上帝。
