Psalms Chapter 143

Psalms

psa 143:0

Overview

Psa 143:1, David prays for favour in judgment; Psa 143:3, He complains of his griefs; Psa 143:5, He strengthens his faith by meditation and prayer; Psa 143:7, He prays for grace; Psa 143:9, for deliverance; Psa 143:10, for sanctification; Psa 143:12, for destruction of his enemies;

The LXX, Vulgate, Ethiopic, and Arabic state that this Psalm was composed by David on the rebellion of his son Absalom; and there are several passages in it which agree remarkably well with that period; for then he had most reason to fear lest God should deal with him according to his sins; which he deprecates with such a deep sense of his unworthiness, that it has hence been numbered among the penitential Psalms, of which it is the last.

Psa 143:1-12 David's Type of Prayer References Prays to God for pardon Psa 143:1 Acknowledges the impossibility of being saved but by grace Psa 143:2 Deplores the lamentable effects of sin Psa 143:3, Psa 143:4 Comforts himself with a retrospect of God's mercies of old Psa 143:5 Prays, in a variety of expressions, for remission of sin, sanctification, and redemption Psa 143:6-12
