It reflects the psalmist's intense longing for God amidst turmoil. The repetition of "deep" emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the psalmist's experience. This can be connected to <a href="/romans/8-26.htm">Romans 8:26</a>, where the Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words, indicating a deep spiritual communication.<p><b>in the roar of Your waterfalls;</b><br>The imagery of waterfalls suggests a powerful, overwhelming force, symbolizing the trials and tribulations the psalmist is experiencing. Waterfalls in the region of ancient Israel, such as those in the Golan Heights, are known for their intensity and noise, which could drown out other sounds, symbolizing how the psalmist feels overwhelmed by his circumstances. This can be compared to the overwhelming nature of God's voice in <a href="/ezekiel/43-2.htm">Ezekiel 43:2</a>, described as the sound of many waters.<p><b>all Your breakers and waves</b><br>Breakers and waves are often used in Scripture to symbolize chaos and adversity. The psalmist attributes these to God, acknowledging His sovereignty over all circumstances. This imagery is reminiscent of <a href="/jonah/2-3.htm">Jonah 2:3</a>, where Jonah describes being engulfed by the waves, recognizing God's hand in his situation. It also foreshadows Jesus calming the storm in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, demonstrating His authority over creation.<p><b>have rolled over me.</b><br>This phrase conveys a sense of being submerged or overwhelmed by life's challenges. The psalmist feels engulfed by his troubles, much like the waters of a stormy sea. This can be linked to the experience of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, where the waters were a barrier that God miraculously parted, as described in <a href="/exodus/14.htm">Exodus 14</a>. It also points to the baptism of Jesus, where He identifies with humanity's struggles and emerges victorious, as seen in <a href="/matthew/3-16.htm">Matthew 3:16-17</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/sons_of_korah.htm">Sons of Korah</a></b><br>The authors of <a href="/bsb/psalms/42.htm">Psalm 42</a>, a group of Levitical singers and musicians who served in the temple.

There can, therefore, be little doubt that, as Dean Stanley observed, this image was furnished by the windings and rapids of the Jordan, each hurrying to dash itself with yet fiercer vehemence of sounding water over some opposing ledge of rocks "in cataract after cataract to the sea." Thus every step taken on that sorrowful journey offered an emblem of the griefs accumulating on the exile's heart. The word rendered waterspout only occurs besides in <a href="/2_samuel/5-8.htm" title="And David said on that day, Whoever gets up to the gutter, and smites the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain.

The image is common in all poetry. (Comp. "And as a sea of ills urges on its waves; one falling, another, with huge (literally, <span class= "ital">third</span>) crest, rising."--'sch., <span class= "ital">Seven against Thebes, </span>759.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/42.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Deep calleth unto deep at</span> <span class="cmt_word">the noise of thy waterspouts.</span> Blow follows blow.
