✦ Chapter Overview

The psalmist laments his spiritual thirst, comparing his soul to a dry cup that cannot fill, and he longs for God’s mercy and the joy of His presence. He declares that his heart is heavy with sorrow, yet he trusts that God will pour out a stream of mercy and deliver him from his desolation. The chapter emphasizes the need for God’s provision and the hope of His compassionate response.
