In Psalm 42:1, the Psalmist is expressing a deep thirsty desire to drink deeply. He is thirsting for his Creator. His soul is parched. It is completely dry. He is running on empty. He describes this thirst by painting a word picture about how a thirsty deer pants, or longs, to quench it’s thirst by drinking from flowing streams, and as you read the entire Psalm you can see his longing is coming because things are not going well for him. It seems others are taunting him and saying, “Where is your God? ” He is really feeling bad.
