Psalm 42:5, 11 and 43:5  Why I Should Never Be Discouraged

Intro:  Matthew Henry speculates that David might have written this psalm when he was prevented from to the sanctuary in Jerusalem, either due to persecution by Saul or because of Absalmon’s revolt. 

David was in despair.  Jesus Christ was in despair the night before He was crucified.  Some of this describes Jesus human emotions the night before He was crucified.   Christians….. we have all been in this situation where we get sad and overwhelmed at times.  That will come….. but it’s wasn’t the end for David, Jesus Christ or us today.
