(Title) A Psalm
|
|
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. In it he 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, 4; comforts himself with a retrospect of God's mercies of old, Psa 143:5; and prays, in a variety of expressions, for remission of sin, sanctification, and redemption, Psa 143:6-12. |
