Psalm 42 King James Version (KJV)

42 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, 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?

10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

King James Version (KJV)

When I think of Psalms, it reminds me of David’s worship and praise. Worship (putting worth on something) is a natural response to an understanding of the source of all things. The source (God) is more important than the resources (things). Worship doesn’t begin, when we start singing and dancing. It’s when we acknowledge the source, we begin to worship God. The largest book in the Bible that’s written is a praise book (Psalm) and it’s written by a politician (David). The greatest king of the nation of Israel. David used to hang out on the hills with his sheep before he became a king. He learned early during his teen years that the mountains and the hills belong to God; the sheep, the bush, the trees, his slingshot, his tongue, so he can sing, and everything in the earth belongs to God. David understood God Almighty. Our Source! He kept on writing His gratitude and the praise of His wonders because David was awed by God. God bless you!

Good word - thanks for sharing.

It’s important to understand that we are spirits, though in a physical body, our earnest desire is to appear before the most holy, God almighty in whom we all came from.

That’s the assurance that God has made so evident in Christ, thus, he shall make everything both in heaven and here on earth one through his Son Jesus.

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians 1:9-12

Amen, good word.
