troubled on every side, but not distressed; perplexed but not in despair

"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me?

I choose to put my hope in You, O God, for I will yet praise You, my Savior, and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefor I remember You! [[Ps. 42:5-6]] In all my distress, You too are distressed, and the angel of Your presence saves me. In Your love and mercy You redeem me. You lift me up and carry me as You have done for Your children through all the days of old [[Is. 45:3]].

Lord, help me not to fear, for You are with me; I need not be dismayed, for You are my God. You will strengthen me and help me. You will uphold me with Your righteous right hand [[Is. 41:10]]."
