Salmos 42:7

7 Un abismo llama a otro abismoen el rugir de tus cascadas;todas tus ondas y tus olasse han precipitado sobre mí.

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 voy a inquietarme?¿Por qué me voy a angustiar?En Dios pondré mi esperanzay todavía lo alabaré.¡Él es mi Salvador y mi Dios!

6 Me siento sumamente angustiado;por eso, mi Dios, pienso en tidesde la tierra del Jordán,desde las alturas del Hermón, desde el monte Mizar.

7 Un abismo llama a otro abismoen el rugir de tus cascadas;todas tus ondas y tus olasse han precipitado sobre mí.

8 Esta es la oración al Dios de mi vida:que de día el SEÑOR mande su amor,y de noche su canto me acompañe.

9 Y le digo a Dios, a mi Roca:«¿Por qué me has olvidado?¿Por qué debo andar de lutoy oprimido por el enemigo?»
