"Why so downcast o my soul?
Put your hope in God!
Children of God, listen to me.
Your heart may hurt,
Your soul in need of movement,
but put your hope in God!
Do not put any trust in men,
they are only fickle.
God will heal the brokenhearted,
give rest to the soul
so it can come alive once again.
God is our rock, our salvation,
a fortress that cannot be shaken.
Praise the Lord O soul of mine!
Get out of your dark slump.
Trust in God once again
O lonely heart.
God will free you!
His compassion is great!
Praise the Lord O children,
listen to my song.
Take guidance to it,
so you may free yourself
from your gloomy chains.
Praise the Lord!"
