Psalms 43:2 meaning and explanation

For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?

Psalms 43:2, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The psalmist speaks directly to God, likely a worshiper cut off from Jerusalem and surrounded by hostile people, as verse 1 shows. He calls God the God of his refuge, the safe place he has known, yet he feels rejected and walks in sorrow under an enemy's oppression.
