Psalms 43:1

1 David, praying to be restored to the temple, promises to serve God joyfully.

5 He encourages his soul to trust in God.

A.M. 2983. B.C. 1021. (Title.)This Psalm is evidently a continuation of the preceding, and had the same author; and they are written as one in forty-six MSS. The sameness of subject, similarity of composition, and return of the same burden in both, are sufficient evidence of this opinion.

A.M. 2942. B.C. 1062. (Title.) {Al-tas-chith.} or,destroy not. A golden Psalm.

57:1; 58:1; *titles

Michtam.The seven poems of the celebrated Arabian poets who flourished before the time of Mohammed, called {Moâllakat,} from being suspended on the walls of the temple of Mecca, were also called {Modhabat,} "golden," because they were written in letters of gold on the papyrus; and probably this is another reason why the six poems of David were called golden.
