Psalms 42:8,9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Yet the Lord will command Will effectually provide and confer upon me; his lovingkindness His blessings, the effect of his lovingkindness, which God is often said to command. In the day-time, and in the night Both day and night, that is, continually. His song shall be with me I shall have constant cause for singing and praising God for his loving-kindness. And my prayer shall be unto the God of my life The giver and preserver of my life from time to time. I will boldly and believingly direct my prayers to him, of whose readiness to hear and help me I have had such ample experience. I will say unto God my rock I will expostulate the case with him, who hath formerly been a sure refuge to me; Why hast thou forgotten me? Why dost thou now seem quite to neglect and forget me? Why go I mourning? Why dost thou leave me in this mourning state, and not succour me speedily?

Psalms 42:8-9

8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
