Psalm 42:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 I hear your waterfalls make a noise like thunder.
It seems like all that water is pouring over me
and it knocks me down to the ground.[a]
8 Each day, the Lord shows me that he loves me
with his faithful love.
Each night he gives me a song to sing,
as I pray to the God who lives for ever.[b]
9 I say to God, who is my high rock,
‘Why have you forgotten me? Why must I be so sad?
How much longer must I continue to weep,
because my enemies do cruel things to me?’
Footnotes
- 42:7 A waterfall is a place where a river's water pours over the edge of a big rock. The water makes a lot of noise as it falls over the edge. The Jordan River started at the Hermon mountain. When it rained a lot the river ran over the rocks and made waterfalls.
- 42:8 Now the writer realized that God was with him, even when he was far away from Jerusalem. God did not only live in Jerusalem. God was everywhere! But the rest of the psalm shows us that he still felt far away from God.
