Listen to Psalm 42:2
2 Tengo sed de Dios, del Dios viviente.

Psalm 42:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 42:2

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God
Who is so called, in opposition to the idols of the Gentiles, which were lifeless statues; and who is the author, giver, and maintainer of natural life; and who has promised and provided eternal life in his Son; and is himself the fountain of life, and the fountain of living waters, and a place of broad rivers and streams: particularly his lovingkindness, which is better than life, is a pure river of water of life, the streams where make glad the saints; and hence it is that the psalmist thirsted after God, and the discoveries of his love: saying,

when shall I come and appear before God?
meaning, not in heaven, as desiring the beatific vision; but in the tabernacle, where were the worship of God, and the ark, the symbol of the divine Presence, and where the Israelites appeared before him, even in Zion; see ( Psalms 84:7 ) .

3 Día y noche sólo me alimento de lágrimas,
mientras que mis enemigos se burlan continuamente de mí diciendo:
«¿Dónde está ese Dios tuyo?».
4 Se me destroza el corazón
al recordar cómo solían ser las cosas:
yo caminaba entre la multitud de adoradores,
encabezaba una gran procesión hacia la casa de Dios,
cantando de alegría y dando gracias
en medio del sonido de una gran celebración.
5 ¿Por qué estoy desanimado?
¿Por qué está tan triste mi corazón?
¡Pondré mi esperanza en Dios!
Nuevamente lo alabaré,
¡mi Salvador y
