The portion of God's Word that is specially precious to me, more so than I am able to express, is Psalm forty-second. —Harrington Evans' Life, p. 399. What a precious, soul-comforting Psalm is that forty-second! —Life Of Captain Hammond, p. 289.

¶ To the Chief Musician , Maschil, for the Sons of Korah.
The following is an excellent poetical paraphrase of the Psalm, by Bishop Lowth:—
As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs,
That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase;
So pants my longing soul, great King of kings!
So thirsts to reach Thy sacred dwelling-place.
On briny tears my famish'd soul hath fed,
John R. Macduff
