Psalms 43:5 Summary
[This verse is about talking to ourselves when we're feeling sad or worried, and reminding ourselves to trust in God. The psalmist is saying, 'Hey, soul, why are you so down? Remember that God is your Savior and God, and He's in control.' It's like what David said in Psalms 23:4, 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.' We can trust God to take care of us, even when things seem tough. By choosing to focus on God's goodness and promises, like in Romans 8:28, we can find peace and comfort, even in the midst of struggles.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the psalmist asking his soul why it is downcast?
The psalmist is acknowledging his emotional struggle and seeking to address it, much like David did in Psalms 42:5, and this self-reflection is a crucial step in finding comfort and peace in God, as seen in Psalms 55:22.
How can we apply the command to 'put your hope in God' in our daily lives?
By trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness, as declared in Psalms 23:1-4 and Romans 8:28, we can find hope and comfort in the midst of life's challenges, just like the psalmist does in this verse.
What does it mean to praise God as our Savior and God?
It means recognizing God's role as our redeemer and worshiping Him for who He is, as expressed in Psalms 95:6-7 and Revelation 4:11, and acknowledging His power to save and deliver us from our struggles.
How can we balance honesty about our emotions with the command to put our hope in God?
We can be honest about our emotions, like the psalmist, and then intentionally shift our focus to God's character and promises, as seen in Lamentations 3:22-23 and Jeremiah 29:11, to find comfort and peace in Him.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am feeling downcast or uneasy, and how can I apply the psalmist's encouragement to myself?
- How do I typically respond when I'm feeling down or struggling, and what would it look like to 'put my hope in God' in those moments?
- What are some truths about God's character that I can meditate on when I'm feeling discouraged, and how can I use those truths to praise Him?
- In what ways can I, like the psalmist, intentionally choose to praise God even when I don't feel like it, and what impact might that have on my emotional state?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 43:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul?.... [See comments on Psalms 42:5] and [See comments on Psalms 42:11].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 43:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 43:5
Psalms 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.Ver. 5. Why art thou bowed down, &c.] See Psalms 42:5; Psalms 42:11.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 43:5
Verse 5. Why art thou cast down] Though our deliverance be delayed, God has not forgotten to be gracious. The vision, the prophetic declaration relative to our captivity, was for an appointed time. Though it appear to tarry, we must wait for it. In the end it will come, and will not tarry; why then should we be discouraged? Let us still continue to trust in God, for we shall yet praise him for the fullest proofs of his approbation in a great outpouring of his benedictions. ANALYSIS OF THE FORTY-THIRD PSALM This Psalm, which is of the same nature with the former, and properly a part or continuation of it, contains two chief things: - I. A petition, which is double. 1. One in the first verse. 2. The other in the fourth verse.
II. A comfortable apostrophe to his own soul, Psalms 43:5. First, He petitions God, - 1. That, being righteous, he would be his Judge: "Judge me, O Lord." 2. That, being merciful, he would plead his cause: "Plead my cause." 3. That, being almighty, he would deliver him: "Deliver me," Psalms 43:1. For this petition he assigns two reasons: - 1. The unmerciful disposition of his enemies. 1. They were a factious, bloody, inhuman people: "Plead my cause against an ungodly nation," גוי לא כסיד goi lo chasid, "a people without mercy." 2. They were men of deceit and iniquity: "Deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man," Psalms 43:1. 2.
The other reason he draws from the nature of God, and his relation to him: "For thou art the God of my strength." Thou hast promised to defend me. On this he expostulates: 1. "Why hast thou cast me off?" For so, to the eye of sense, it at present appears. 2. "Why go I mourning, because of the oppression of the enemy?" Psalms 43:2. Secondly, The second part of his petition is, that he may be restored to God's favour, and brought back to his own country, Psalms 43:3. 1. "O send forth thy light and thy truth," the light of thy favour and countenance, and make thy promises true to me: "Let them lead me," Psalms 43:3. 2. "Let them guide me;" - whither? To dignity and honours? No, I ask not those: I ask to be guided to thy holy hill and tabernacles, where I may enjoy the exercises of piety in thy pure worship, Psalms 43:3. Thirdly, That he might the better move God to hear his petition, he does as good as vow that he would be thankful, and make it known how good God had been to him. 1.
"Then will I go unto the altar of God, my exceeding joy." The joy and content he would take in this should not be of an ordinary kind. 2.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 43:5
5. The refrain is once more repeated, and now, we may believe, with a still more unwavering faith and certain hope that his prayer will be answered.
