Psalms 42-72, 31 Psalms all which corresponds to the 2nd book in the Bible Exodus. These Psalms speak of our bondage to sin and our deliverance by God into a new glorious relationship. Psalm 42:5 asks the question “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.”
Psalm 44:21 reminds us that God “knows the secrets of the heart.” And yet as Psalm 46:1 tells us this does not stop God from being “our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.” We are told in Psalm 49:6-7 that our deliverer will not come from “Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches, None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him”
And Psalm 50:15 offers instead this exhortation to “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” After David confesses the sins of murder and adultery in Psalm 51 David declares in verse 7 “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.”
