Psalms 42:4. When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me:
You could not help it. It is not the best thing in the world. Meditation is always good, but it needs to be done in a wise way, else we may meditate ourselves into still deeper griefs. " I pour out my soul in me."
Psalms 42:4. For I had gone with the multitude,
Here were memories which made him sorrowful, but yet made him hopeful.
Psalms 42:4. I went with them to the house of God,
Time was when I had many with me, when I did not stand alone,-when they were glad of my company, and I of theirs. I did not go the wrong way, but I went with them to the house of God; and the house of God is all the more delightful because of the many that go to it. "At once they sing, at once they pray They hear of heaven and learn the way."
Psalms 42:4. With the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day.
And I felt it to be a true holiday. There are some that turn holy days into holidays. Blessed are they that turn holidays into holy days. It is indeed, a great solace for the heart to enjoy Christian fellowship, and to go with the many to the worship of God. But if he cannot--if his pathway is to be a lonely one, then let him still trust in God though I should not wonder that he has his grief.
