Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet. Oh! what a glorious “yet” that is. How it swims! Never was there a swimming suit like that which is made of hope. Psa_42:8. The LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. How dear God gets to be to a gracious man in the time of trouble. Just now he...

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? He had tried his “whys” on himself. Now he comes with his “whys” to his God, and God will...

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? See what liberties saints take with God; how they reason with him, how they argue with...

I will say unto God my rock,.... A name frequently given to the eternal God, Father, Son, and Spirit, Deuteronomy 32:4; [See comments on Psalms 18:2]; why hast thou forgotten me? [See comments on Psalms 13:1]; why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? meaning perhaps Saul; though it may be applied to any spiritual enemy, sin,...

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? He had been talking too much to himself; now he talks with his God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Notice how the...

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
[As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me,.... The reproaches of his enemies were grievous and cutting to him, as if a sword pierced through the marrow in his bones, which, being very sensitive, gives exquisite pain. There is a various reading here: some copies, as Vatablus observes, read ב, "in", or with, and others כ, "as", which...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Rather monotonous this. “Where is thy God?” is all they can say. They are rather short of wit when they must always hang on to the same old taunt. If ever you hear of a new heresy, it is only an old heresy with a new soul put to it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: For I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. It is curious to see the duplicate man here; he talks to himself as “thou,”...

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?.... The same expostulation as in Psalms 42:5; and so is what follows, and why art thou disquieted within me? and the same argument and means are made use of to remove dejection and disquietude; hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him; [See comments on Psalms 42:5]; to which is added a new argument, taken...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. This exposition consisted of readings from Matthew 15.; and Psalms 42.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 43 This psalm is without a title; but may well enough be thought to be one of David's: and the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Ethiopic, and Syriac versions, call it a psalm of David, and the latter adds, when Jonathan told him that Saul intended to kill him; and certain it is, that it was wrote by the same person, at the same...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Judge me, O God,.... The Targum adds, with the judgment of truth; see Romans 2:2; and plead my cause; which was a righteous one; and therefore he could commit it to God to be tried and judged by him, and could put it into his hands to plead it for him; [See comments on Psalms 35:1]; against an ungodly nation; meaning either the Philistines, among...
Matthew Henry - Complete Commentary - Matthew Henry
This psalm, it is likely, was penned upon the same occasion with the former, and, having no title, may be looked upon as an appendix to it; the malady presently returning, he had immediate recourse to the same remedy, because he had entered it in his book, with a "probatum est—it has been proved," upon it. The second verse of this psalm is almost...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength: In the previous Psalm, David had called the Lord the God of his life. Now he calls him the God of his strength. We generally sing ourselves up. We may begin in a very low key, as David did, but if we...
Spurgeon - Treasury of David - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ver. 1. Judge me, O God. Others are unable to understand my motives, and unwilling to give me a just verdict. My heart is clear as to intent and therefore I bring my case before thee, content that thou wilt impartially weigh my character, and right my wrongs. If thou wilt judge, thy acceptance of my conduct will be enough for me; I can laugh at...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For thou [art] the God of my strength,.... Who being the strong and mighty God was able to deliver and save him, as well as to plead his cause; and was the author and giver of strength, natural and spiritual, to him; and was the strength of his heart, life and salvation; and is a good reason why he committed his cause unto him; why doest thou cast...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: “My exceeding joy,”--exceeding all the other joys I have,--exceeding still the joys...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
O send out thy light and thy truth,.... By light is meant, not the law, as Arama; but rather, as some Jewish (p) interpreters understand it, the Messiah, the sun of righteousness, and light of the world; who is the author of all light, natural, spiritual, and eternal; and whose coming into the world is often signified by being sent into it. The...
