I am longing and thirsting for the worship of my living God, he is saying. "To see the face of God" means worshiping him according to the Law, and such worship was confined to Jerusalem.… very appropriately do they name God "strong and living" as they take note of the lifeless and immobile idols of the Babylonians. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 42:2
Salmos 42:4
After the sad events, therefore, he proclaims pleasant ones and ahead of time teaches that they will quickly secure their recall, and with the guidance of God's grace, they will return to the land of their desire and will rebuild God's house, will celebrate the customary festivals and welcome into their ears the festive sound and spiritual melody. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 42:3
