This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Psalms 42-72, The Exodus Book, has to do with Israel; as the first book (1-41) had to do with Man. Psalm 42 and Psalm 43 are linked together, because (1) Psalm 43 has no title; (2) the Structure shows the correspondence of the repeated appeal.
Title. Maschil = Instruction. The second of thirteen so named. See note on Psalm 32, Title, and App-65
for = by.
the sons of Korah. The first of the eleven Psalms so distinguished (Psalms 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 84, 85, 87, 88). Korah died by Divine judgment (Num_16:31-35), but his sons were spared in grace (Num_26:11). The men of Num_16:32 did not include the "sons". See notes, and App-63.
son = descendants.
panteth = crieth, or longeth. Compare Joe_1:20. The cry of Israel in Egypt.
after = for.
brooks = channels: water in gorges or pipes, difficult of approach. Hebrew. 'aphikim. See note on 2Sa_22:16.
my soul = I myself. Hebrew. nephesh.
after = upon.
God. Hebrew. Elohim. App-4. The Creator, not yet revealed as Jehovah to Israel in the Egyptian oppression.
