Psalms 42:3
My tears have been my food
What it says
Tears have become constant food while enemies keep asking where God is.
What it is doing
This verse joins emotional misery to public humiliation.
In context
1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. 2My soul thirsts for God, the living God. 3My tears have been my food 4These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: 5Why are you downcast, O my soul? 6O my God, my soul despairs within me. 7Deep calls to deep 8The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, 9I say to God my Rock, 10Like the crushing of my bones, 11Why are you downcast, O my soul?
