Psalms
Chapter 42
1
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, "Where is your God?"
4
These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.

Why we feel tension
1. Distance- came 50 miles from Jerusalem. Sons of Korah would serve a few weeks a year. They felt like they were home at the temple because this is the place where the presence o God was. Ps 84. Your soul is home when is in the presence of God. Augustine of hippo- confessions.
For us everything has hanged. Heb 10:19-22. We can dwell in the presence of God daily. We have access because of Jesus.
2. Distractors- surrounded by pagan nations. Or within because of internal elements- num 16:1-3;28-35 (hx of Korah).
Outside of us- work people who ridicule you because of your faith. Internal- what you have done, social status or who you are related to, you aren't able to do anything 4God
