Commentary for Psalms 42:8

תְּהֽוֹם־אֶל־תְּה֣וֹם ק֭וֹרֵא לְק֣וֹל צִנּוֹרֶ֑יךָ כָּֽל־מִשְׁבָּרֶ֥יךָ וְ֝גַלֶּ֗יךָ עָלַ֥י עָבָֽרוּ׃

Deep calleth unto deep at the voice of Thy cataracts; all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.

Rashi on Psalms

Deep calls to deep One trouble calls the next one.

Rashi on Psalms

to the sound of Your water channels (Tes canals in Old French, canaux in modern French) which spray retribution upon me like flooding waters, until all Your breakers and waves have passed over me. “Your breakers” is an expression of the waves of the sea, because the waves of the sea ascend, break, and fall.
