    Psalms 43

    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 Psalms 43:2, 42:9 of this psalm is almost the very same with the Psalms 43:2, 42:9 of the foregoing psalm, as the Psalms 43:5, 42:11 of this is exactly the same with the Psalms 43:5, 42:11 of that. Christ himself, who had the Spirit without measure, when there was occasion prayed a second and third time “saying the same words,” Matthew 26:44. In this psalm. I. David appeals to God concerning the injuries that were done him by his enemies, Psalms 43:1, 43:2. II. He prays to God to restore to him the free enjoyment of public ordinances again, and promises to make a good improvement of them, Psalms 43:3, 43:4. III. He endeavours to still the tumult of his own spirit with a lively hope and confidence in God (Psalms 43:5), and if, in singing this psalm, we labour after these, we sing with grace in our hearts.MHBCC 522.1
