Psalm 42:1-3
Did David have feeling about God? Did he really love God? Did he love to fellowship with Him? We can begin to see why God said of this man—even when he was a teenager, "Here is somebody after My own heart!" David was in love with God!
BOOK TWO: Psalms 42—72 Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
4 When I remember these things,
aI pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
bI went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
aI pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
bI went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 aWhy are you1 cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
bHope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
1For the help of His countenance.
And why are you disquieted within me?
bHope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
1For the help of His countenance.
