Psalms 43:3

"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 Isaac. This is as good an explanation as any until someone is able to identify "Mizar"!

"To thy tabernacles ... the altar of God" (Psalms 43:3-4). This indicates that the Temple services were still being conducted at the time this psalm was written; but, as already noted, this has no bearing whatever upon "when" the psalms were written. The Temple was not destroyed, nor were its services interrupted, until the end of the reign of Zedekiah, all of which was during the Babylonian captivity for many Israelites, including Daniel and his associates.
