Psalms 42 & 43, Job 13:15
The psalmist here is in what seems to be a confused state of mind. He's drifting between a time of trouble where he's wondering where God is and the reaffirmation of his faith in God. He keeps calling out to an at-the-time unanswering God asking him why he has left him to this fate and then states that wonderful verse repeatedly:
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.
Similar to Job many times over, this speaks of faith regardless
Regardless of your troubles
Regardless of everything around you and happening to you
Inspite of all your problems
Regardless of what he does
Regarding only the Person himself
Praising him who is the health of your countenance...
No frown shall wrinkle your face
Nor shall doubt settle in that He is almighty, supreme, over all things, and most importantly, your God in whom you trust.
