SEV Biblia, Chapter 42:7
Un abismo llama a otro a la voz de tus canales; todas tus ondas y tus olas han pasado sobre mí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 41:7
Verse 7. Deep calleth unto deep ] One wave of sorrow rolls on me, impelled by another. There is something dismal in the sound of the original; arwq µwht la µwht tehom el tehom kore; something like "And hollow howlings hung in air." Thompson's Ellenore. Or like Horner's well known verse: - bh dÆ akewn para qina polufoisboio qalasshv. "He went silently along the shore of the vastly-sounding sea." Il. i., ver. 34.
The rolling up of the waves into a swell, and the break of the top of the swell, and its dash upon the shore, are surprisingly represented in the sound of the two last words.
The psalmist seems to represent himself as cast away at sea; and by wave impelling wave, is carried to a rock, around which the surges dash in all directions, forming hollow sounds in the creeks and caverns. At last, several waves breaking over him, tear him away from that rock to which he clung, and where he had a little before found a resting- place, and, apparently, an escape from danger. "All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me;" he is then whelmed in the deep, and God alone can save him.
Waterspouts ] A large tube formed of clouds by means of the electric fluid, the base being uppermost, and the point of the tube let down perpendicularly from the clouds. This tube has a particular kind of circular motion at the point; and being hollow within, attracts vast quantities of water, which it pours down in torrents upon the earth. These spouts are frequent on the coast of Syria; and Dr. Shaw has often seen them at Mount Carmel. No doubt the psalmist had often seen them also, and the ravages made by them. I have seen vast gullies cut out of the sides of mountains by the fall of waterspouts, and have seen many of them in their fullest activity.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - The way to forget our miseries, is to remember the God of our mercies David saw troubles coming from God's wrath, and that discouraged him But if one trouble follow hard after another, if all seem to combin for our ruin, let us remember they are all appointed and overruled by the Lord. David regards the Divine favour as the fountain of all the good he looked for. In the Saviour's name let us hope and pray. On word from him will calm every storm, and turn midnight darkness int the light of noon, the bitterest complaints into joyful praises. Ou believing expectation of mercy must quicken our prayers for it. A length, is faith came off conqueror, by encouraging him to trust in the name of the Lord, and to stay himself upon his God. He adds, And m God; this thought enabled him to triumph over all his griefs and fears Let us never think that the God of our life, and the Rock of ou salvation, has forgotten us, if we have made his mercy, truth, an power, our refuge. Thus the psalmist strove against his despondency: a last his faith and hope obtained the victory. Let us learn to check all unbelieving doubts and fears. Apply the promise first to ourselves, an then plead it to God __________________________________________________________________
