Deceitful unjust man

King James Version (Psalm 43)

1  Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

On first reading this verse, ...exclusively believed King David was talking about other men who are deceitful and unjust. However, upon meditation the idea occurred to me that David may praying that he himself will be delivered from the deceitful and unjust man that is inside of all of us — he is pleading his case, and it may very will be King David recognizing his own deceit and his own unjust acts, and King David is praying for repentance and forgiveness and to be delivered from being deceitful and unjust.

Psalm 43:2 David tells us that he knows God is his strength: is, David asking why God cast him off or is, it why -- cast me off as in why would God cast him off. Now we can go back to the time of Balaam and look, at what he told, that is, what Balaam counseled, Balak on how God would cast-off the Israelites -- for when man walks contrary to God, God will walk contrary to man.

Still, again, we must consider why God did cast David off and why would he cast King David off.... Yet do we not also learn from Job that God allowed incredible hardships to befall Job, and this may be understood as being cast-off: so God might cast-off because man walks contrary to God, and thus man is receiving his reward; man might be cast-off from God because God is testing him and wanting to teach a person, something; and as well, we must not imagine that God is casting us off because we are enduring hardships....

Consider Christ Jesus’s teachings: John 16:33; Mark 10:49; Mark 6:50; Matthew 9:22; Matthew 9:2.

Psalm 43:5 David asks why is his soul cast down--rather we are to hope in God, have faith in God, for it is God who heals and who is the health of our countenance.

Psalm 43:3 This verse is wonderful not for only what it says, but the first part alludes to no other things: it says and means, send out you light and your truth God, and let them lead me.... Now when it says, to they holy hill, this part may be alluding to a certain or to a place of holiness--having a holiness that is, what is to be sought, first, by a person: as in, first seek the kingdom of heaven and the Heavenly Father’s righteousness. God’s holy tabernacle is likely the tabernacle that was made in the city of David, but there were other places that were also holy tabernacles to God. Now in Christ Jesus our bodies are to be temples for the holy spirit, so our lives are to lived in holiness. Saint Peter saying be holy for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16 .
