Psalms 42:11

_ _ This brings on a renewed self-chiding, and excites hopes of relief.

_ _ health — or help.

_ _ of my countenance — (compare Psalms 42:5) who cheers me, driving away clouds of sorrow from my face.

_ _ my God — It is He of whose existence and favor my foes would have me doubt.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
