Verse 6 is found in chapter 42 of Psalms. Psalm 42 expresses the spiritual thirst of someone separated from the place of worship and subjected to deep sadness. The image of the deer searching for streams turns the desire for God into a vital necessity. Memories of communal worship intensify the sense of distance. The refrain addressed to the soul introduces a form of inner dialogue: hope remains because God is still salvation even when emotions contradict that hope.
