Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 43

"Psalm 43:

Psalm 43 might be conceived of as an epilogue to Psalm 42. The psalmist moves away for introspection toward invocation. However, as verse 5 will indicate, the psalmist’s problems had not ended, at least not fully and finally. 

I. Prayers to God (43:1-4).
A. Righting Wrongs (43:1-2).
B. Restoring Rights i.e., proper, or appropriate things: (43:3-4).
II. Pep-talks to Oneself (43:5).
A. Exhortation (43:5a-b).
B. Encouragement (43:5c-d).

Psalm 43:1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
"Judge me, O God": This does not mean, pronounce sentence upon me. But, undertake my cause; interpose in my behalf; do justice in the case.

Psalm 43:3 O send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead

me; let them bring me unto Thy holy hill, and to Thy tabernacles.
Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.

Worship blesses God. 

It is also one of the healthiest things people can do when they are sad, fearful, or distraught."
