PSALM 43Psalms 43:1-2"Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:Oh deliver men from the deceitful and unjust man.For thou art the God of my strength; why hast thou cast me off?.Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?""Against an ungodly nation" (Psalms 43:1). The ungodly nation was either Assyria which captivated Northern Israel, or Babylon which made captives of Judaea, certainly not the Israel of God.

"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).

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 43:1
Psalms 43:0. David, praying to be restored to the temple, promises to serve God joyfully: he encourageth his soul to trust in God. Title.— The subject of this Psalm is so much the same with that of the preceding, that one is strongly tempted to believe it to be a continuation of it, particularly as there is no title to interrupt. Mudge. There seems however this difference, that the former was written when the affairs of the Psalmist were at the worst; but this, when they began to amend; when he... read more

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
