Psalms 43:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

This Psalm is so much like the former, that it appears more like a continuation of it, than a new one. Here are the devout cries of a soul to be led by the Spirit to God, and for faith to rest upon God.

Psalms 43:1

We shall, through grace, take a most effectual method to enter into the spirit of this short but sweet Psalm, if we keep an eye upon Christ while we go through it. If a child of God may he supposed here to rest his cause with God against the ungodly, how much more interesting is it to consider Jesus as addressing his Father, on the unmerciful and cruel usage of his own people; who, when he came to them as his own, loaded him with scorn and derision, until at length they nailed him to the cross?

Psalms 43:1

1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodlya nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
