Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 42:6

6. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Iordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar .

That I may revive my drooping Spirits.

I will consider thy infinite Mercy and Power, and Faithfulness, and thy gracious Presence in the Sanctuary, from whence thou dost hear and Answer, all those that call upon thee, in all the parts of the Land.

(i. e.) From all the places, and parts of the Land, to which I shall be driven, whether from the Parts about, or beyond Iordan on the East; Or, the Hermonim, (i. e.) Either, the People inhabiting Herm[illegible: 1+ letters]n; Or, the Mountain of Hermon, which was in the Northern parts, N[illegible: 1+ letters]mb. 34. 7. Deut. 3. 8. Psal. 89. 12. here called Hermonim in the plural Number, because of its great largeness, and many Tops and Parts of it, which are called by several Names: Or, the Hill Missar, an Hill so called, though not mentioned elsewhere, which is supposed to have been in the Southern parts of the Land: But peradventure it was in the East and beyond Iordan: and David might mention these places, because when he was banished by Absalom, he had been successively at all of them, and in all of them, had remembred God, and directed his Prayer to him.

Marginal references: Or, the little Hill.
