Context of Psalms 42:7
5Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. 6O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. 8The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life. 9I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Deep calleth unto deep - One wave of sorrow rolls on me, impelled by another. There is something dismal in the sound of the original; קורא תהום אל תהום tehom el tehom kore ; something like "And hollow howlings hung in air." Thompson's Ellenore. Or like Horner's well known verse: - ' . "He went silently along the shore of the vastly-sounding sea." Il. i., ver. 34.

It is not possible to determine exactly where this was, though, as suggested in the verse above, it would seem most probable that it was in the vicinity of the upper portion of the Jordan; and doubtless the…Read the comment

David regards the Divine favour as the fountain of all the good he looked for. In the Saviour's name let us hope and pray. One word from him will calm every…Read the comment
