psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. - Free Bible Online

psalms 42:1 [For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah]. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for Thee, O God.


      Ps 42:1-11. Maschil--(See on Ps 32:1, title). For, or of (see Introduction) the sons of Korah. The writer, perhaps one of this Levitical family of singers accompanying David in exile, mourns his absence from the sanctuary, a cause of grief aggravated by the taunts of enemies, and is comforted in hopes of relief. This course of thought is repeated with some variety of detail, but closing with the same refrain.

      1, 2. Compare (Ps 63:1).
      panteth--desires in a state of exhaustion.

JFB.
