Psalm 43 - 45

Psalm 43 outlines the psalmists hope in God during times of trouble. The psalmist declares that as often as God delivers him, he will be sure to praise God for the deliverance.

In the 44th psalm, the writers declare their dependence on God during times of national crisis. They have demonstrated repeatedly throughout history that God does and will deliver accurately and completely. The psalm then turns to a situation currently being faced. Based on God's past dealings, the psalm asks God to hurry to send His assistance in the present need.

Psalm 45 is titled a "love song" and describes the affection of the psalmist for the king whom God has blessed with victory. The writer displays great emotion and admiration for the conquering king and thanks God for gifting this leader with the skills necessary to win the battle.
