Wesley's Notes on the Bible Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 43:1 Nation - So he calls the company of his enemies for their great numbers. Man - Probably Achitophel or Absalom.
For thou art the God of my strength: 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. 43:3 Send out - That is, actually discover them. Truth - Thy favour, or the light of thy countenance, and the truth of thy promises made to me; or the true - light, the illumination of thy spirit, and the direction of thy gracious providence, whereby I may be led in the right way, to thy holy hill. Hill - Of Zion, the place of God's presence and worship.
Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
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. Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible by John Wesley [1754-65] Bible Hub |
