Salmos 43:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 43:4

Then will I go unto the altar of God
Which was in the tabernacle, either of burnt offerings, or of incense, there to offer up the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for mercies received. The altar under the Gospel dispensation is Christ, on which such sacrifices being offered, are acceptable to God, ( Hebrews 13:10 Hebrews 13:15 ) ;

unto God my exceeding joy;
as over the mercy seat, upon a throne of grace, and as his covenant God; or this is exegetical of the altar, which is Christ, God over all, blessed for ever; and who is the object of the unspeakable joy of his people, in his person, righteousness, and salvation;

yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God:
the harp is a musical instrument, used in that part of public worship which concerned the praise of God under the former dispensation, and was typical of that spiritual melody made in the hearts of God's people when they sing his praise, see ( Revelation 5:8 ) ( 14:2 ) .

Salmos 43:4 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!
