Psalms 44:17 - Exposition

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant . Israel had neither put aside the thought of religion, and given herself up to wordliness, nor yet, while still professedly religious, transgressed habitually God's commandments. She maintained "thorough sincerity in religion, and consistent integrity of life." Yet "all this"—all that has been described in Psalms 44:9-16 —had come upon her.
