Psalms 15:4
4. Love and hate are regulated by a regard to God.
sweareth . . . hurt—or what so results (compare Le 5:4).Psalms 43:2
2. God of my strength—by covenant relation my stronghold (Ps 18:1).
cast me off—in scorn. because—or, "in," that is, in such circumstances of oppression.Psalms 44:9
9. But—contrasting, cast off as abhorrent (Ps 43:2).
goest not forth—literally, "will not go" (2Sa 5:23). In several consecutive verses the leading verb is future, and the following one past (in Hebrew), thus denoting the causes and effects. Thus (Ps 44:10-12), when defeated, spoiling follows; when delivered as sheep, dispersion follows, &c.
