Psalms 42  PRIVATE PASSIONS AND OUTER OBSTACLES

THE FOCUS OF OUR FEELINGS V.1-4

    CONTENT ONLY WITH THE SUPERNATURAL V.1

        DYNAMIC DESIRE                      As the Deer pants after the water brooks,

        DEPENDABLE DELIVERER   so pants my soul after You, O God.

    CRAVING COMMUNION WITH THE CREATOR V.2

        INNER OBSESSION                    My soul thirsts for God,

        IDENTITY OPTIMISM                for the living God:

        INDELIBLE OPPORTUNITY    when will I come and appear before God?

    CHALLENGED WITH THE CONDEMNATION OF CRITICS

        RAW DISRUPTION V.3              My tears have been my meat day and night,

        ROUTINE DEPRECIATION      while they continually say unto me,

        ROOD DISPARAGEMENT        Where is Your God?

    CONSUMED WITH THE EMANCIPATION OF EXPRESSION V.4

        I CONTEMPLATE THE CENSOR     When I remember these things,

        I LIBERATE MY LONGINGS             I pour out my soul in me:

        I ANALYZE MY ASSOCIATIONS      for I had gone with the multitude, I

                                                                               went with them to the house of God

        I ASPIRE TO ADORATION                 with the voice of joy and praise,

                                                                               with a multitude that kept holyday.
