Psalm 42
10: My bones suffer mortal agony as m foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
These Sons of Korah must be a very solid people. When everyone taunt 'where's your God', it is very easy to raise a question such as 'is there really God' or 'where is God and what's he doing.' However, these people never strayed but urged their souls to hope in God.
I'll hope in God whatever others might say.
Lord, help me to do what I should do. I only put my hope in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Psalm 43
3: Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
I get to have feelings that the psalms of Sons of Korah is much better than the ones of David. It's more clear and refreshing, and hides more secret.
Seeking for light and truth-it's for most of us. We are all looking for those but it is not as easy as playing hide and seek. It is, indeed, a lifetime job. It's such a well-written complains and whiny verses which is asking for something that can never be just given. Imagine, if light and truth was given for free, would he be happy or he would rather earn it?
Anyway, since it is in bible, I'll keep crying and whining about giving light and truth-while, work for it.
God, help me to be more bright for every knowledge and be wise. In Jesus' name Amen.

Psalm 44
23: Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.
So, he was sleeping, huh? Theses psalms could have been regarded highly by me if it wasn't like this. They are never satisfied. I know I and we never get satisfied and ask things from God. "Please do this and that stuff" but is it really right? I mean, doesn't God have his own plan for us? How dare he sings 'are you asleep? Get up!'
I'll be satisfied with situation I am in because there is his will and at least someone would be thankful to the circumstances. And I myself will work for it.
Lord, help me, really I need help in here, if I want to do as what is right. Give me strength, that is all I ask. Give me power. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Psalm 45
1: My heart isstirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
This is the history of the religion. I remember someone say all the religion was useful for governors. Religion is usually close to politics if it is powerful and old. Because, criticizing the governor would take risk of harm but praising him could easily bring wealth.
Kind of dirty, I think. I hope I would be some kind of teacher who can teach others about what true religion is.
God, give me an idea that I can deliver on how to be a good teacher so I can inspire others. In jesus' name, Amen.
