Verse 1. - Judge me, O God (comp. Psalm 35:24). And plead my cause. (comp. Psalm 35:1). God's intervention is asked in the struggle between David and his enemies, on the assumed ground that he is in the right, and not they. God will, of course, only interpose if this is so. Against an ungodly nation; or, an unkind, unloving nation. Though called גוִי, as in Isaiah 1:4, still Israel is meant. They were "unloving," both towards God and towards their king. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. Either Absalom or Ahithophel may be meant; or "man" may be used abstractedly for David's enemies generally. 43:6-11 The way to forget our miseries, is to remember the God of our mercies. David saw troubles coming from God's wrath, and that discouraged him. But if one trouble follow hard after another, if all seem to combine for our ruin, let us remember they are all appointed and overruled by the Lord. David regards the Divine favour as the fountain of all the good he looked for. In the Saviour's name let us hope and pray. One word from him will calm every storm, and turn midnight darkness into the light of noon, the bitterest complaints into joyful praises. Our believing expectation of mercy must quicken our prayers for it. At length, is faith came off conqueror, by encouraging him to trust in the name of the Lord, and to stay himself upon his God. He adds, And my God; this thought enabled him to triumph over all his griefs and fears. Let us never think that the God of our life, and the Rock of our salvation, has forgotten us, if we have made his mercy, truth, and power, our refuge. Thus the psalmist strove against his despondency: at last his faith and hope obtained the victory. Let us learn to check all unbelieving doubts and fears. Apply the promise first to ourselves, and then plead it to God.Jump to Previous Case Cause Deceit Deceitful Defend Deliver Evil Judge Nation Perverseness Pious Plead Religion Rescue Supporting Ungodly Unjust Unrighteous Vindicate WickedJump to Next Case Cause Deceit Deceitful Defend Deliver Evil Judge Nation Perverseness Pious Plead Religion Rescue Supporting Ungodly Unjust Unrighteous Vindicate WickedLinks Psalm 43:1 NIVPsalm 43:1 NLT Psalm 43:1 ESV Psalm 43:1 NASB Psalm 43:1 KJV Psalm 43:1 Bible Apps Psalm 43:1 Biblia Paralela Psalm 43:1 Chinese Bible Psalm 43:1 French Bible Psalm 43:1 German Bible Alphabetical: against an and case cause deceitful deliver from God man me men my nation O plead rescue the ungodly unjust Vindicate wicked OT Poetry: Psalm 43:1 Vindicate me God and plead my cause (Psalm Ps Psa.)
