Psalms 43:3

Context

43:3 Reveal 1  your light 2  and your faithfulness!

They will lead me, 3 

they will escort 4  me back to your holy hill, 5 

and to the place where you live. 6 

1 tn Heb “send.”

2 sn God’s deliverance is compared here to a light which will lead the psalmist back home to the Lord’s temple. Divine deliverance will in turn demonstrate the Lord’s faithfulness to his people.

3 tn Or “may they lead me.” The prefixed verbal forms here and in the next line may be taken as jussives.

4 tn Heb “bring.”

5 sn In this context the Lord’s holy hill is Zion/Jerusalem. See Isa 66:20; Joel 2:1; 3:17; Zech 8:3; Pss 2:6; 15:1; 48:1; 87:1; Dan 9:16.

6 tn Or “to your dwelling place[s].” The plural form of the noun may indicate degree or quality; this is the Lord’s special dwelling place (see Pss 46:4; 84:1; 132:5, 7).
