Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 44:1-26
Psalms 44The writer spoke for the nation of Israel in this psalm. He lamented a national disaster, namely, defeat by enemies, and he called on the Lord to deliver. Evidently he could not identify sin in the nation as the cause of this defeat. He attributed it instead to it being "for Your sake" (Psalms 44:22). Israel was apparently suffering because she had remained loyal to God in a world hostile to Him. The basis of the psalmist’s request was God’s faithfulness to the patriarchs and the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 44:1-26
This is a prayer for deliverance from national trouble which has not been deserved by any apostasy or idolatry. The strong assertions of national faithfulness are akin to the spirit of the Maccabean age, but the conditions indicated in the Ps. may be found also at an earlier date, such as the time of the invasion by Sennacherib in the reign of Hezekiah. God has helped His people in the days of old (Psalms 44:1-3), and they are still confident in Him (Psalms 44:4-8), yet He has allowed their... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 44:15
(15) The shame.—Better take the face as a second object—shame hath covered me as to my face, i.e., covered my face. Though the record of the facts of a sad reality, these verses have also the value of a prophecy sadder still. Twenty centuries of misery are summed up in these few lines, which have been most literally repeated,“By the torture, prolonged from age to age,By the infamy, Israel’s heritage;By the Ghetto’s plague, by the garb’s disgrace,By the badge of shame, by the felon’s place.”R.... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 44:1-26
God's Doings in the Time of Old Psalms 44:1 What God has been to us men we know from history. We know then from history what He will be to us. Now to apply this there are three departments of human life in which this recurrence to the past is of great religious value. I. First there is the family, resting on God's own ordinance, springing out of the most intimate and sacred ties that can unite human beings. Every family has its traditions of the past has its encouragements and its warnings,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 44:1-26
Psalms 44:1-26CALVIN says that the authorship of this psalm is uncertain, but that it is abundantly clear that it was composed by anyone rather than David, and that its plaintive contents suit best the time when the savage tyranny of Antiochus raged. No period corresponds to the situation which makes the background of the psalm so completely as the Maccabean, for only then could it be truly said that national calamities fell because of the nation’s rigid monotheism. Other epochs have been... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 44:1-26
Psalms 44:0 Has God forgotten his people?Some national disaster has overtaken Israel and the people ask if God has deserted them. The tone of the psalm is not one of humility, but one of outspoken boldness in questioning God’s purposes. It shows some lack of faith and submission before God (cf. Romans 8:28,Romans 8:31-39). But God may yet be gracious and answer such a prayer.Through the words of the psalmist the people recall how God enabled their ancestors to conquer and inhabit Canaan (1-3).... read more
