诗篇 44:9-10 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:9

But thou hast cast off (comp. Psalms 43:2 ) and put us to shame (see also Psalms 44:16 ). It is the shame of defeat, rather than the physical pains or material losses, that grieve the writer . And goest not forth with our armies . Israel has still "armies" at her disposal. It is therefore certainly not the early Maccabean period, nor the time of the expiring monarchy. Her armies have free play, are sent forth, only God does not "go forth" with them (comp. Psalms 60:10 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:9-16

These verses form the second stanza, and are a loud and bitter complaint. God has recently dealt with Israel exceptionally—has seemed to "cast them off," has "put them to shame," allowed them to be defeated and despoiled, slain and carried into captivity, made a scorn and a derision, a reproach and a byword. He no longer "goes forth with their armies," to secure them victory over their foes, but holds aloof, and covers them with confusion. The description implies, not a single defeat, but a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:10

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy. Thou bringest it to pass that we turn our backs in shameful flight from the enemy, either making a feeble resistance or none at all. And they which hate us spoil for themselves. Spoil us of our arms and ornaments, which they seize and appropriate. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 44:9

But thou hast cast off - The author of the psalm now commences a description of the existing circumstances of the nation, so strongly in contrast with what had existed in former times when God interposed in their behalf, and when he gave them success. This is properly the commencement of the second part of the psalm, and the description is continued to Psalms 44:16. The Hebrew word here rendered “hast cast off” implies disgust and abhorrence, as the casting away of that which is loathsome. See... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 44:10

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy - Instead of giving us the victory. That is, we are defeated.And they which hate us spoil for themselves - They plunder us; they take our property as spoil, and carry it away. That this was done at the time referred to in the introduction as the time of the composition of the psalm, is apparent from the narrative in the Book of Chronicles. 2 Chronicles 36:7, “Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 44:9-10

Psalms 44:9-10. But thou hast cast us off Now thy countenance and course are quite changed to us; and hast put us to shame Hast made us ashamed of our boasting and trust in thee, which we have often professed to the face of our enemies. And goest not forth with our armies To lead them and fight for them, as this phrase signifies, Judges 4:14; 1 Samuel 8:20. He seems to allude to God’s marching with and before the Israelites in the wilderness, and afterward as occasion was offered,... 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

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
