02.043. Psalm 43

Psalms 43:1-5 This psalm was probably composed on the same occasion as the former; and contains, (1.) David’s strong cries to his God, for help against, and deliverance from, his ungodly, unjust, and crafty oppressors, Psalms 43:1-2. (2.) His earnest longings to be restored to the enjoyment of his God in his public ordinances, Psalms 43:3-4. (3.) His inward disquiets composed by believing claims, of God as his God, and firm dependence on his promises, Psalms 43:5.

While I sing, let my soul be deeply affected with the injuries I daily receive from Satan and my own lusts. Let my heart and flesh cry out for God, the living God, as my God, and mine exceeding joy. And let me still all the tumults of my heart with this ­ That he is my God and my all; my God that doth me save.
