John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 44:25

Verse 25 25For our soul is humbled to the dust The people of God again deplore the greatness of their calamities, and in order that God may be the more disposed to help them, they declare to him that they are afflicted in no ordinary manner. By the metaphors which they here employ, they mean not only that they are cast down, but also that they are crushed and laid upon the earth, so that they are not able to rise again. Some take the word soul for the body, so that there would be in this verse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:1-26

The occasion of the psalm is some serious reverse which the Israelites had sustained in a war with foreign enemies, but who were the enemies, and when exactly the reverse was sustained, are uncertain. No doubt there were many temporary reverses in the course of David's wars, after one of which the psalm may have been written. The psalm divides itself into four parts. In part 1. ( Psalms 60:1-8 ) the writer recounts God's mercies in the past, and from them confidently concludes that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:1-26

In the days of old. From this psalm we may learn three great lessons— I. WE ARE TAUGHT TO SEE GOD 'S HAND IN HISTORY . There is no such thing as chance. "The chapter of accidents," as some one has well said, "is the Bible of the fool." There are differences in the nations and the ages; but God is in all. We acknowledge how God was with the Jews; but we are not so ready to admit that he had to do just as really and truly with other peoples. The difference, in the case... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:1-26

A prayer for help against foreign enemies. The train of thought is this: "Thou hast helped us, thou must help us; but thou hast not helped us; yet have we not by any guilt on our part cut ourselves off from thy help; do thou therefore help us." The problem of suffering , as argued in this psalm, is similar to the problem in the Book of Job. That God should not help them — I. WAS INCONSISTENT WITS GOD 'S PAST TREATMENT OF THEM . (Verses 1-3.) Their fathers had told... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:23

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? The psalmist does not really believe that Jehovah "sleeps." The heathen might so imagine of their gods ( 1 Kings 18:27 ), but not an Israelite. An Israelite would be sure that "he that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps" ( Psalms 121:4 ). The writer consciously uses an anthropomorphism, really intending only to call on God to rouse himself from his inaction, and lay it aside, and come to Israel's aid. Arise (see Psalms 7:6 ; Psalms 9:19 ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:23-26

The appeal to God is now made, after the case has been fully represented. God has always hitherto maintained the cause of his people, and given them victory over their enemies, unless they had fallen away from him ( Psalms 44:1-8 ). Now he has acted otherwise—he has allowed their enemies to triumph ( Psalms 44:9-16 ). And they have given him no reason for his desertion of them ( Psalms 44:17-22 ). Surely, if they call upon him, and plead their cause before him, he will relent, and come... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:24

Wherefore hidest thou thy face (comp. Psalms 13:1 ; Psalms 27:9 ; Psalms 69:17 , etc.). And forgettest our affliction and our oppression? (see Psalms 13:1 ; Psalms 74:19 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:25

For our soul is bowed down to the dust ; i.e. brought very low, humbled, as it were, to the earth, so weakened that it has no strength in it. Our belly cleaveth unto the earth. The body participates in the soul's depression, and lies prostrate on the ground. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 44:26

Arise for our help ; literally, arise as a help unto us ; i.e. arise, and come to our aid. Help against the enemy is the one object of the entire prayer. And redeem us ; or, save us—"deliver us" (comp. Psalms 25:22 ). For thy mercies' sake (comp. Psalms 6:4 ; Psalms 31:16 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 44:23

Awake, why sleepest thou? - This is a solemn and earnest appeal to God to interpose in their behalf, as if he were “asleep,” or were regardless of their sufferings. Compare Psalms 3:7, note; Psalms 7:6, note; Psalms 35:23, note.Arise, cast us not off for ever - Do not forsake us always. Compare Psalms 44:9. He had seemed to have cast them off; to have forgotten them; to have forsaken them utterly, and the psalmist, in the name of the people, calls on him not entirely to abandon them. read more
