Berean Standard Bible

“Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.”

Psalms 43:4

Save as image

Study note

Psalm 43 is a short prayer, probably the second half of Psalm 42, in which a believer far from the temple longs to return to God's presence. The refrain asking why the soul is cast down closes both psalms.
