Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will say unto God my rock,.... A name frequently given to the eternal God, Father, Son, and Spirit, Deuteronomy 32:4;
Deuteronomy 32:4- :;
why hast thou forgotten me? Deuteronomy 32:4- :;
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? meaning perhaps Saul; though it may be applied to any spiritual enemy, sin, Satan, and the world; who are very oppressive and afflicting, and occasion continual mourning to the children of God.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will say unto God my rock - I will appeal to God as my defense, my helper, my Saviour. On the word rock, as applied to God, see the notes at Psalms 18:2.
Why hast thou forgotten me? - See the notes at Psalms 22:1. He had seemed to forget and forsake him, for He did not come to interpose and save him. This is a part of the prayer which he says Psalms 42:8 that he would use.
Why go I mourning? - On the meaning of the word used here - קדר qodēr - see Psalms 35:14, note; Psalms 38:6, note. The idea is that of being bowed down, made sad, deeply afflicted, as one forsaken.
Because of the oppression of the enemy - In the oppression of the enemy; that is, during its continuance, or on account of it. The word here rendered “oppression” means distress, affliction, straits, Job 36:15; 1 Kings 22:27; Isaiah 30:20. The “enemy” here referred to may have been Absalom, who had driven him from his throne and kingdom.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 42:9. I will say unto God my rock — God, my Fortress and Support.
Why hast thou forgotten meat — This and the following verse is badly pointed in our Bibles: "Why go I mourning as with a sword in my bones because of the oppression of the enemy? Mine enemies reproach me daily, while they say unto me, Where is thy God?" See on Psalms 42:3. Their reproaches are to my soul as cutting and severe as a sword thrust into my body, and separating between my bones; because these reproaches are intended to fall on thee, my God, as if thou hadst not power to save us from the hands of our oppressors.
