Commentary on Psalms 42:3
Tears have become David's 'meat day and night' while enemies continually ask 'Where is thy God?' This mocking question attacks the foundation of faith--if God is real and good, why does He allow such suffering? The image of tears as food suggests grief so overwhelming that it displaces normal sustenance; sorrow consumes everything.
