Psalms 43

1 David, praying to be restored to the temple, promises to serve God joyfully.

5 He encourages his soul to trust in God.

43:1

[A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. (Title.)]

This Psalm is evidently a continuation of the preceding, and had the same author; and they are written as one in forty-six MSS. The sameness of subject, similarity of composition, and return of the same burden in both, are sufficient evidence of this opinion.
