Psalms 43:3

Psa 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Ver. 3. O send out thy light ] i.e. Thy comforting grace, opposed to that, Psalms 43:2 , I go mourning, or in black.

And thy truth ] i.e. Thy faithfulness, opposed to the deceitful man, Psalms 43:1 . The Rabbis interpret light and truth by Christ and Elijah; the Arabic maketh it a prayer for the Jews’ conversion, Lux et veritas piorum comites.

Yet them bring me unto thy holy hill ] Zion, the place of holy assemblies for God’s service, Iterum commendatur hic dignitas ministerii publici: Vae igitur illis qui caducorum bolorum usum reditaunt sacri ministerii iactura, qui conciones sacras et sacramenta ultro negligunt, &c.

And to thy tabernacles ] So called, either because it was set up at sundry times in sundry places, while it was transportative; or else because it was parted by veils into several rooms, Hebrews 9:2-3 .
