Praise during depression / Strong Tower

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God.

Isaiah 61:10, NKJV

Who is praising Jesus because you are? If your praise - and mine - is interrupted by . . .

our circumstances or our complaints,

our selfishness or our suffering,

our desires or our depression,

our indifference or our insistence,

or by anything at all . . .

the light will grow dim in our lives as we sink into the mire of self, and instead of causing others to praise Him, we will drag them down into the darkness with us.

At first I said NOT TRUE, especially in regards to deep depression but I took a moment and thought, David often praised God in his depression and darkest days and nights, even if it was to praise the most sacred name of God.  I think firstly of Psalm 42.

I need not praise God for everything but who He is and what He does.

When I wonder through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way

Chorus:
I go running to Your mountain
Where Your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower, shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty everlasting King
You are my strong tower, fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I see

In the middle of all my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunders all I hear
You speak softly to my soul

Chorus:
Now I'm running to Your mountain
Where Your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower, shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty everlasting King
You are my strong tower, fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I see
And Your face is all I see
Yeah, Your face is all I see
