My soul why you downcast

Psalm 42
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God
These things I remember as I pour out my soul.
The psalmist is in exile in north, surrounded by the Godless people who mock his faith.
Deeply dispirited he contracts past joys led the Pilgrim throng to the sanctuary, with unhappy present.
All his happiness rests in God, and he is filled with longing for God's presence, to come again to the Temple.
Why?
When my heart is downcast, we usually like to ask why?
Psalmist says that remember what God has done and what I have praised the Lord. Then put our hope in Him.
For the Lord is the mighty, my rock,my savior.
Why we always remember how great we had when we lost it.
How?
Let my soul pants for the Lord like deer pants for the water of stream.
