Salmos 43:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 43:1

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 Gill on Psalms 35:1);

against an ungodly nation;
meaning either the Philistines, among whom he was; or his own nation, when they joined his son Absalom in rebellion against him: some understand it of the great numbers that were with Saul, when he was persecuted by him;

O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man;
either Absalom, who, under pretence of a vow he had vowed in Hebron, got leave of David to go thither, and then engaged in a conspiracy against him; or Ahithophel, who had been his friend and acquaintance, but now joined with Absalom. It is true of Saul, who, under pretence of friendship, sought his ruin, and to whom he expressed himself almost in the same words here used; see ( 1 Samuel 18:17 1 Samuel 18:25 ) ( 1 Samuel 24:12 1 Samuel 24:15 ) .

Salmos 43:1 In-Context

1 Salmo 43
¡Declárame inocente, oh Dios!
Defiéndeme contra esta gente que vive sin ti;
rescátame de estos mentirosos injustos.

2 Pues tú eres Dios, mi único refugio seguro.
¿Por qué me hiciste a un lado?
¿Por qué tengo que andar angustiado,
oprimido por mis enemigos?

3 Envía tu luz y tu verdad,
que ellas me guíen.
Que me lleven a tu monte santo,
al lugar donde vives.

4 Allí iré al altar de Dios,
a Dios mismo, la fuente de toda mi alegría.
Te alabaré con mi arpa,
¡oh Dios, mi Dios!

5 ¿Por qué estoy desanimado?
¿Por qué está tan triste mi corazón?
¡Pondré mi esperanza en Dios!
Nuevamente lo alabaré,
¡mi Salvador y mi Dios!
