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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 44:12

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 44:11-12

These verses describe the defeat figuratively. God had not protected His sheep but had allowed their enemy to ravage them. He had sold them to the enemy but had not profited from the bargain personally. read more
