Ps. 43: Gonna Praise Anyway

Psalm 43:4 "Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God."

Another brief little Psalm, this sort of continues the thoughts of Psalm 42. While people are mocking him, and waiting for him to fall, the Psalmist says, "Hey, bring me to the altar, and even though God may be silent and distant, and you're mocking me, I'm still going to praise him." Because David (presumably) is guided by God's light and truth, not public opinion. He wears no mask for anyone. While its still agonizing, David continues to praise God, repeating his words from Psalm 42.
