This is a quote of Psalm 42:7.

To me, this means that we can be in deep sharing and communication with God and each other, with His waves over us . . . protecting us and caring for us, sharing, refreshing.

So the waves of this world's troubling and bubbling do not decide how we are and what we do or where our attention goes.

 

It is also taken as a picture of the Lord Jesus at the cross bearing the billows and waves of God's wrath for sin.

55, 23, 121, 45,88, 72, 34, 145, 134, 130, 90, 77, 76, and 12. I sing them all the week in hebrew. I have tried to sing 120 but thats a biggie ;D.

The Psalm of Delight

Psalm 37:

4 Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
6 He will bring out your righteousness as the light,
And your judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him;
Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way,
Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and abandon wrath;
Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers will be eliminated,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
10 Yet a little while and the wicked person will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.
11 But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

[Mr. M]

Just now, Mr. M said:

4 Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.

What I have come to comprehend of this verse from experience,

is that the Lord doesn't give us our heart's desire, He gives a 

Faithful and True desire to our heart.

Psalm 27

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold^[a] of my life;
    of whom shall I be afraid?

² When evildoers assail me
    to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
    it is they who stumble and fall.

³ Though an army encamp against me,
    my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
    yet^[b] I will be confident.

⁴ One thing have I asked of the Lord,
    that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
    and to inquire^[c] in his temple.

⁵ For he will hide me in his shelter
    in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
    he will lift me high upon a rock.

⁶ And now my head shall be lifted up
    above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
    sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

⁷ Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;
    be gracious to me and answer me!
⁸ You have said, “Seek^[d] my face.”
My heart says to you,
    “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”^[e]
9     Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
    O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
    O God of my salvation!
¹⁰ For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
    but the Lord will take me in.

¹¹ Teach me your way, O Lord,
    and lead me on a level path
    because of my enemies.
¹² Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
    for false witnesses have risen against me,
    and they breathe out violence.

¹³ I believe that I shall look^[f] upon the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living!
¹⁴ Wait for the Lord;
    be strong, and let your heart take courage;
    wait for the Lord!

Thank-you, @HopeInHim .......... The phrase in verse 1 there : The LORD is my light (DOMINUS ILLUMINATIO MEA in Latin) is the motto of Oxford University....
