Commentary on Psalms 43:5
Theological / DevotionalWhy art thou cast down? The refrain to Ps. 43, or the third appearance of the refrain to the entire elegy if Ps. 42 and 43 are considered one (see on Ps. 42:5, 11). In the Hebrew the refrain here is identical with the refrain of Ps. 42:11. A few Hebrew manuscripts and the LXX have all three refrains in practically identical form (see Ps. 42:11). In this refrain is the epitome of the human experience of the Christian: the problem of suffering, the assurance of help, the confidence of ultimate victory through faith (see 1 John 5:4).
