Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 42:6-11

Complaints and comforts here, as before, take their turn, like day and night in the course of nature. I. He complains of the dejections of his spirit, but comforts himself with the thoughts of God, Ps. 42:6. 1. In his troubles. His soul was dejected, and he goes to God and tells him so: O my God! my soul is cast down within me. It is a great support to us, when upon any account we are distressed, that we have liberty of access to God, and liberty of speech before him, and may open to him the... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 42:7

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of the water spouts ,.... By which are meant afflictions, comparable to the deep waters of the sea, for their multitude and overwhelming nature; see Psalm 69:1 ; these came pouring down, one after another, upon the psalmist: as soon as one affliction over, another came, as in the case of Job; which is signified by one calling to another, and were clamorous, troublesome, and very grievous and distressing; all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me ... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 42:8

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime ,.... Which is a tender affection in God towards his people, springs from his sovereign will and pleasure, is from everlasting, is ever the same, never removes from them, and is better than life; the effects of which are all spiritual blessings, grace, and glory: and this the Lord "commands" when he sends it forth with power, makes a clear manifestation and home application of it to them; when he commands his covenant, or bestows... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 42:9

I will say unto God my rock ,.... A name frequently given to the eternal God, Father, Son, and Spirit, Deuteronomy 32:4 ; See Gill on Psalm 18:2 ; why hast thou forgotten me ? See Gill on Psalm 13:1 ; why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ? meaning perhaps Saul; though it may be applied to any spiritual enemy, sin, Satan, and the world; who are very oppressive and afflicting, and occasion continual mourning to the children of God. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 42:7

Deep 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: - Βη δπ ' ακεων παρα θινα πολυφοισβοιο θαλασσης . "He went silently along the shore of the vastly-sounding sea." Il. i., ver. 34. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 42:8

The Lord will command - Every day the Lord will give an especial commission to his loving-kindness to visit me. During the night I shall sing of his mercy and goodness; and alternately mingle my singing with prayer for a continuance of his mercy, and for power to make the best use of these visitations. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 42:9

I will say unto God my rock - God, my Fortress and Support. Why hast thou forgotten me? - This and the following verse is badly pointed in our Bibles: "Why go I mourning as with a sword in my bones because of the oppression of the enemy? Mine enemies reproach me daily, while they say unto me, Where is thy God?" See on Psalm 42:3 ; (note). Their reproaches are to my soul as cutting and severe as a sword thrust into my body, and separating between my bones; because these reproaches are... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 42:7

Verse 7 7.Depth calleth unto depth These words express the grievousness, as well as the number and long continuance, of the miseries which he suffered; as if he had said, I am oppressed not only with one kind of misery, but various kinds of distress return one after another, so that there seems to be neither end nor measure to them. In the first place, by the term depth, he shows that the temptations by which he was assailed were such, that they might well be compared to gulfs in the sea; then... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 42:8

Verse 8 8.Jehovah will command his loving-kindness by day The verb here used is of the future tense; but I do not deny that, according to the Hebrew idiom, it might be rendered in the past tense, as some do who think that David here enumerates the benefits which he had formerly received from God, in order by contrast to add greater force to the complaint which he makes of his present sad and miserable condition; as if he had said, How comes it to pass that God, who formerly manifested so much... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 42:9

Verse 9 9.I will say to God my rock If we read the preceding verse in the past tense, the meaning of this verse will be, Since God has, in this way, heretofore shown himself so kind towards me, I will pray to him now with so much the greater confidence: for the experience which I have had of his goodness will inspire me with courage. But if the preceding verse is rendered in the future tense, David, in this verse, combines the prayer which it contains with the reflections which faith led him to... read more
