Context of Psalms 42:7
5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou 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 will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth to deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the God of my life. 9I will say to God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Commentaries on Psalms 42:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Deep calleth unto deep - One wave of sorrow rolls on me, impelled by another.

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
