Psalms 42

The sons of Korah express a deep thirst for the **living God** (Elohim Chayyim), likening their soul's longing to a deer panting for water brooks, while mourning their exile from the house of God amid enemies' taunts, 'Where is your God?'[1][2][3] In turmoil from the land of the Jordan and Hermon, they pour out their soul, feeling waves and breakers of YHWH overwhelm them, yet command their soul to **hope in God** (yachel Elohim), for they shall yet praise Him as the salvation of His presence.[1][2][3]
