INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 42 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. Of the word "Maschil", [See comments on Psalms 32:1], title. Korah was he who was at the head of a conspiracy against Moses and Aaron, for which sin the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed alive him and his company, and fire devoured two hundred and fifty more; the history of which is recorded in Numbers 16:1; yet...

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?.... The same expostulation as in Psalms 42:5; and so is what follows, and why art thou disquieted within me? and the same argument and means are made use of to remove dejection and disquietude; hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him; [See comments on Psalms 42:5]; to which is added a new argument, taken from the grace and goodness of God, and covenant...

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