Psalms - Overview
(The Bible Project)
For the director of music.
A maskil of the Sons of Korah.
1
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
3
My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me all day long,
‘Where is your God?’
4
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
under the protection of the Mighty One
with shouts of joy and praise
among the festive throng.
5
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Saviour and my God.
6
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon – from Mount Mizar.
7
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
8
By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me –
a prayer to the God of my life.
9
I say to God my Rock,
‘Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?’
10
My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
‘Where is your God?’
11
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Saviour and my God.

Word by Word Meditations
by Fred Ursell
Psalm 42 : “downcast” (vv.5 & 11)
Do you ever ask yourself questions? The Psalmist did. He was struggling emotionally (“downcast” vv.5 & 11), despite a good spiritual CV – “I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shout of joy” (v.4).
Now he feels “forgotten” (v.9). Why, and who by? The thing that seems to rankle and get to him most is the sneering query of others ‘where is your God?’ (vv.3 & 10).
We need to impose faith on any recurring negative feelings. We can answer our own questions positively, “I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God” (vv.5 & 11). So - answer back!
