Psalm 44:9-11

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.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 44:11-14

Psalms 44:11-14. Thou hast given us like sheep, &c. Some of us they killed in the pursuit, without any mercy, like sheep appointed for the shambles.

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).

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 44:9

9. But—contrasting, cast off as abhorrent (Psalms 43:2). goest not forth—literally, "will not go" (2 Samuel 5:23). In several consecutive verses the leading verb is future, and the following one past (in Hebrew), thus denoting the causes and effects. Thus (2 Samuel 5:23- :), when defeated, spoiling follows; when delivered as sheep, dispersion follows, &c. read more
