As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Psalms 42 Study & Commentary
Psalm 42 expresses a deep longing for God, using the imagery of a hart panting for water brooks while the soul is cast down by the taunts of enemies.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Spiritual Thirst: Our souls were made for God; nothing else can satisfy that deep "panting" (v. 1-2).2. Deep Calleth unto Deep: In the midst of overwhelming waves, God’s lovingkindness is still a song in the night (v. 7-8).
