This psalm of the sons of Korah apparently expresses people's longing for God when they were far away from Jerusalem ("the heights of Hermon - from Mount Mizar - verse 6) maybe in exile. The writers say their soul thirsts for God, and critics ask where is your God? The writers remember nostalgically about the "festive throng" at Jerusalem. People are downcast and feel forgotten by God. The psalm ends proposing hope in God as the solution for all their woes.
