Salmos 42:7

7 Oigo el tumulto de los embravecidos mares,
mientras me arrasan tus olas y las crecientes mareas.

Salmos 42:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 42:7

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of the water spouts
By which are meant afflictions, comparable to the deep waters of the sea, for their multitude and overwhelming nature; see ( Psalms 69:1 Psalms 69:2 ) ( Isaiah 43:2 ) ; these came pouring down, one after another, upon the psalmist: as soon as one affliction over, another came, as in the case of Job; which is signified by one calling to another, and were clamorous, troublesome, and very grievous and distressing;

all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me:
with which he seemed to be covered and overwhelmed, as a ship is at sea. It may be observed, that the psalmist calls afflictions God's water spouts, and "his" waves and "his" billows; because they are appointed, sent, ordered, and overruled by him, and made to work for the good of his people: and now, though these might seem to be a just cause of dejection, yet they were not, as appears from ( Psalms 42:8 ) .

Salmos 42:7 In-Context

5 ¿Por qué estoy desanimado?
¿Por qué está tan triste mi corazón?
¡Pondré mi esperanza en Dios!
Nuevamente lo alabaré,
¡mi Salvador y

6 mi Dios!
Ahora estoy profundamente desalentado,
pero me acordaré de ti,
aun desde el lejano monte Hermón, donde nace el Jordán,
desde la tierra del monte Mizar.

7 Oigo el tumulto de los embravecidos mares,
mientras me arrasan tus olas y las crecientes mareas.

8 Pero cada día el Señor
derrama su amor inagotable sobre mí,
y todas las noches entono sus cánticos
y oro a Dios, quien me da vida.

9 «¡Oh Dios, roca mía! —clamo—,
¿por qué me has olvidado?
¿Por qué tengo que andar angustiado,
oprimido por mis enemigos?».
