Psalms 43 - Introduction

A.M. 2981. B.C. 1023.

The subject of this Psalm is so much the same with that of the preceding, that some commentators have been inclined to believe it to be a continuation of it, particularly as there is no title to interrupt. There seems, however, this difference; that the former was written when the affairs of the psalmist were at the worst; but this, when they began to amend; when he had greater hopes of repossessing his kingdom, and recovering the command of his beloved Zion, where the tabernacle of God resided. He appeals to God, Psalms 43:1; Psalms 43:2. Prays to be restored to the public ordinances, and trusts in God, Psalms 43:3.
