The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 43:4

Then will I go unto the altar Of God . As the special place where thanksgiving ought to be made, and sacrifice offered (see 2 Samuel 6:17 ; 1 Chronicles 16:1 ). Unto God my exceeding Joy; literally, unto God the gladness of my exultation. Yea , upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. The psalmist has before him some such scene as that depicted in 2 Samuel 6:1-23 . and 1 Chronicles 15:25-29 , where, amid shouts and singing and dancing, and "with sound of the cornet, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 43:4

God my exceeding Joy. As the Bible teems with thoughts which never would have entered men's minds without Divine teaching, so also of feelings, which, had they not been real, men would never have aspired or pretended to. Among these is that "exceeding joy" in God which the text expresses. If it be true that "the fleshly heart is enmity against God," then this joy must be supernatural. But not unnatural. Only because man is fallen can it ever be natural to him to forget God, to be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 43:3

O send out thy light and thy truth - Send them forth as from thy presence; or, let them be made manifest. The word light here is equivalent to favor or mercy, as when one prays for the “light of God’s countenance” (see the notes at Psalms 4:6); and the idea is, that now, in the time of darkness and trouble, when the light of God’s countenance seemed to be withdrawn or hidden, he prays that God would impart light; that he would restore his favor; that he would conduct him back again to his... read more

Then will I go unto the altar of God - The altar on Mount Zion, where sacrifices were offered: 2 Samuel 6:17.

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 43:1-5

Psalms 42-43 Longing for God’s templeIn many ancient manuscripts Psalms 42:0 and 43 form one psalm. Together they express the sorrow of a devout worshipper, possibly a temple singer, who lived in the far north of Israel (see 42:6) and could no longer go to worship at the temple in Jerusalem. This may have been because the kingdom was now divided, and the northern king would not allow his people to travel into the southern territory, where Jerusalem was situated. The king rejected the religion... read more

"Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me:Let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.Then will I go unto the altar of God,Unto God my exceeding joy;And upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.""Let them bring me to thy holy hill" (Psalms 43:3). We suppose this is the same as the hill Mizar mentioned in Psalms 42:6, the word `hill,' being the common designation of Jerusalem, Mount Zion, or the Temple mountain, the same being the place where Abraham offered... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 43:4

Psalms 43:4. My exceeding joy— Or, as it is literally translated in the Margin of our Bibles, The gladness of my joy; i.e. The great author of all the joy that I have. REFLECTIONS.—We have here, 1. David's appeal and prayer to God. Though in God's sight he would cry, Enter not into judgment; yet, with respect to his enemies, he desired nothing more than to be tried at the bar of God; where his innocence would certainly engage him for his advocate against the ungodly nation of Israel, and his... read more
