Psalms 42:7

Deep (Hebr. tehom) cries out (raises its voice in prayer) to deep,
in the roar (like the voice) of your waterfalls (channels – Hebr. tsinor),
All your waves and billows,
have swept over me.
[Depths (Hebr. tehom) is used to refer to water from the depths in Gen. 7:11. There, water also pours forth from the windows of heaven. The phrase "deep calls to deep" can be understood as the depths of the human soul in all its dryness crying out to be filled with God's deep fullness. The reference to Hermon and the Jordan River in the previous verse may be related to the images of rushing water and waves in this verse. The headwaters of the Jordan River come from Hermon and rush down through several roaring waterfalls. The image that is painted is how the psalmist is about to drown. There is also a theme of water from verses 2–3, where there was a lack of water, to verse 4, where tears fall to become great waters that are a deadly force. The word for depths is the same word used for the vast deep waters that covered the earth in the beginning, see Gen. 1:2. The description of depths and waves is the same word Jonah uses, see Jonah 2:3. The psalm has messianic undertones, see verse 1. These connections are seen in Jonah's experience in the belly of the whale, which is also likened to Jesus' death, see Matt. 12:40. Jesus uses phrases from verses 6–7 in his agonizing prayer in Gethsemane, and against that background, the language here in verse 8 may describe how the sin of the world was washed over Jesus, see Matt. 26:39, 42.]
