시편 43:1-3 KRV

God the salvation of the countenance; or, a light heart makes a bright face. Dr. Binnie remarks, "The forty-second and forty-third [psalms] (which go together), were almost certainly written by the Korahites who accompanied David in his flight beyond the Jordan during Absalom's rebellion." £ Nearly all modern critics consider that this and the preceding psalm formed originally but one. £ So the similarity of Psalms 42:5 , Psalms 42:11 and Psalms 43:5 would suggest. There is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 43:1-5

Strengthening the heart in God. What Jonathan did for David when he went to him into the wood of Ziph, David does here for himself—he strengthens his heart in God ( 1 Samuel 23:16 ). "Hope in God." We learn here that— I. HOPE IS BASED ON GOD 'S REVELATION OF HIMSELF . We only know God as he is pleased to make himself known to us. In his works and in his Word we find the same character. The lesson comes to us from all sides that God is true, and that his laws should be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 43:2

For thou art the God of my strength ; i.e. the God in whom is all my strength ( Psalms 28:7 ). Why dost thou cast me off? An equivalent to the "Why hast thou forgotten me?" of Psalms 42:9 . Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Repeated, with the variation of a single word, from Psalms 42:9 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 43:3

O send out thy light and thy truth ( Psalms 40:11 ; Psalms 57:3 , where, however, "mercy ( חסד ) and truth" take the place of "light and truth"). Both words equally signify God's favour. Let them lead me. As the pillar of fire and of the cloud led the Israelites into the promised land, so let God's "light and truth" now lead David back to Jerusalem and God's "holy hill of Zion." Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles; or, thy dwelling-place. In his exile it... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 43:1

Judge me, O God - This does not mean, Pronounce sentence upon me; but, Undertake my cause; interpose in my behalf; do justice in the case. He regarded his own cause as right; he felt that he was greatly wronged by the treatment which he received from people, and he asks to have it shown that he was not guilty of what his enemies charged on him; that he was an upright man, and a friend of God. See Psalms 7:8, note; Psalms 26:1, note.And plead my cause - See the notes at Psalms 35:1. “Against an... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 43:2

For thou art the God of my strength - See Psalms 18:2, note; Psalms 28:7, note.Why dost thou cast me off? - As if I were none of thine; as if I were wholly abandoned. Compare the notes at Psalms 22:1. The word rendered “cast off” - זנח zânach - is a word which implies strong disgust or loathing: “Why dost thou cast me off as a loathsome or disgusting object?” Compare Revelation 3:16. The Hebrew word means properly to be foul, to be rancid, to stink: then, to be loathsome or abominable; and... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 43:1-2

Psalms 43:1-2. Judge me, O God, &c. “O God, the supreme Judge of the whole world, I appeal to thee, in this contest between me and a seditious people, who, void of piety and humanity,” (so the phrase לא חסיד , lo chasid, here rendered ungodly, means,) “are risen up in rebellion against me, beseeching thee to vindicate my innocence, and defend me from their violence.” Bishop Patrick. He calls the company of his enemies a nation, because of their great numbers: for they were the far... read more

Psalms 43:3-5. O send out Actually impart and discover; thy light and thy truth Thy favour, or the light of thy countenance, and the truth of thy promises made to me; or, the true light, the illumination of thy Spirit, and the direction of thy gracious providence, whereby I may be led in the right way. Let them bring me unto thy holy hill Of Zion, the place of thy presence and worship. Then will I go unto the altar of God To offer sacrifices of thanksgiving for my deliverance; unto... read more
