Salmos 43:2

2 Tú eres mi Dios y mi fortaleza:¿Por qué me has rechazado?¿Por qué debo andar de lutoy oprimido por el enemigo?

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and left in a desolate condition by him, and he did not immediately arise to his help and deliverance, and had withdrawn the light of his countenance from him; but God does not cast off or reject any of his people; they always continue in his love, and in his covenant, and in the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 ¡Hazme justicia, oh Dios!Defiende mi causa frente a esta nación impía;líbrame de gente mentirosa y perversa.

2 Tú eres mi Dios y mi fortaleza:¿Por qué me has rechazado?¿Por qué debo andar de lutoy oprimido por el enemigo?

3 Envía tu luz y tu verdad;que ellas me guíen a tu monte santo,que me lleven al lugar donde tú habitas.

4 Llegaré entonces al altar de Dios,del Dios de mi alegría y mi deleite,y allí, oh Dios, mi Dios,te alabaré al son del arpa.

5 ¿Por qué voy a inquietarme?¿Por qué me voy a angustiar?En Dios pondré mi esperanza,y todavía lo alabaré.¡Él es mi Salvador y mi Dios!
