Salmos 43:2

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?

Salmos 43:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 43:2

For thou [art] the God of my strength
Who being the strong and mighty God was able to deliver and save him, as well as to plead his cause; and was the author and giver of strength, natural and spiritual, to him; and was the strength of his heart, life and salvation; and is a good reason why he committed his cause unto him;

why doest thou cast me off?
this is the language of unbelief: it being what was not in reality, only in appearance: the psalmist was ready to conclude he was cast off and rejected of God, because he was afflicted and left in a desolate condition by him, and he did not immediately arise to his help and deliverance, and had withdrawn the light of his countenance from him; but God does not cast off or reject any of his people; they always continue in his love, and in his covenant, and in the hands of his Son; they are always in his sight and family, and shall never perish eternally; and whoever casts them off, or casts them out, he will not;

why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
(See Gill on Psalms 42:9).

Salmos 43:2 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!
