Tyndale Open Study Notes
Verse 1
43:1-4 The psalmist turns to the Lord for rescue from his troubles, for guidance, for restoration, and for vindication.
Verse 2
43:2 tossed me aside: Other psalms similarly ask whether God has rejected his people (44:9, 23; 60:1, 10; 74:1; 77:7; 88:14; 89:38; 108:11).
Verse 3
43:3 In this prayer for God’s redemption, light and truth are viewed as guides (see 18:25-29; 27:1; 85:10-13; 89:14-18; see also 119:105; John 3:19; Eph 5:8; 1 Thes 5:5-7). • The Temple on the mountain in Jerusalem symbolized God’s holy presence among his people (Pss 15:1; 43:3; 99:5, 9; 132:7).
Verse 5
43:5 This verse is repeated in 42:5, 11.
