Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 44:1
PSALM 44THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S SUFFERING SAINTSWe shall refrain from discussing the multiple opinions about when this psalm was written, by whom, and upon what occasion. This writer professes no special ability for resolving the problem of the divergent views; and, besides, in the great majority of instances, the resolution of such questions adds very little to the proper understanding and appreciation of what is written.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 44:9
THE CURRENT EMERGENCY"But now thou hast cast us off, and brought us to dishonor,And goest not forth with our hosts.Thou makest us to turn back from our adversary;And they that hate us take spoil for themselves.Thou hast made us like sheep appointed for food,And hast scattered us among the nations.Thou sellest thy people for naught,And hast not increased thy wealth by their price.Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors,A scoffing and a derision to them that are round about us.Thou makest us a... read more

In the dark and tragic hours of undeserved suffering, they did not turn away from the Lord, but simply laid their sorrows upon his infinite bosom. They... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 44:1
Psalms 44:0. The church, in memory of former favours, complaineth of her present evils: professing her integrity, she fervently prayeth for succour. To the chief musician, for the sons of Korah, Maschil. Title. משׂכיל קרח לבני למנצח lamnatseach libnei korach maskiil.— This Psalm appears to have been composed at a time when the Jewish people suffered greatly from their enemies, and many were carried into captivity; though the state itself subsisted, and the public worship of God was maintained.... read more
