Psalms 44:0To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil1 We have heard with our ears,O God, our fathers have told us,What work thou didst in their days,In the times of old.2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and, plantedst them,How thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,Neither did their own arm save them:But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,Because... read more

a Plea for Present Help Psalms 44:9-26 In Psalms 44:11 God’s people are compared to sheep appointed for meat, which are sold by the shepherd for naught, so worthless are they. Before their savage foes sheep are defenseless and unresisting. Their bitter lot is aggravated by their fear lest the shepherd has forgotten them. The reference in Psalms 44:19 to jackals suggests the further picture of a harried and panting flock. It is hardly to be wondered at that God’s tender mercies seemed... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 44:1-26

The final meaning of this psalm is discovered in its last four verses. It is a prayer for deliverance from defeat. Its strength of appeal lies in its recognition of the government of God. He is the Author of good and evil. Of course, evil is used here in the sense of disaster and calamity. The psalmist sings of the God of good first (verses Psa 44:1-8 ). There is a double recognition of this. History attests it. The testimony of the fathers affirms it. They had originally come into possession... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 44:20-22

The Psalmist Now Admits That Possibly They Have Been At Fault (Psalms 44:20-22 ). Psalms 44:20-22 ‘If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god, Will not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart. Yes, for your sake are we killed all the day long, We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ The Psalmist now admits the possibility that in a sense they have forgotten what God is, that is, they have forgotten ‘the Name of God’. He does... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 44:1-26

XLIV. A National Prayer in Unmerited Distress.— The Ps. evidently depicts the situation of Israel under Antiochus Epiphanes [but see OTJC 2 , pp. 207f., 437– 440.— A. S. P.] So much was plain long ago to the Antiochene Fathers and at a later date to Calvin. Antiochus promulgated a decree enforcing unity of worship in his dominions and especially in Palestine. He also polluted the Temple at Jerusalem by heathen sacrifice. He encountered fierce opposition from the Asidæ ans (= Hasidim), led by... read more

Yea; or, but. We do not suffer for our apostacy, but because we will not apostatize from thee. For thy sake; because we are thy people, and continue constantly and resolutely in the profession and practice of thy worship, which they abhor, and from which they seek to draw or drive us. read more

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.” See introduction to Psalms 42:0.We have no means of determining who was the author of the psalm. Nor are we able to ascertain with certainty upon what occasion it was composed. The various speculations and conjectures on the subject are not amongst the most satisfactory things with which we are acquainted. Looking at the psalm from the homiletic standpoint, we have: a well-founded assurance (Psalms 44:1-8); a... read more

Psalms 44:1-26 Psalms 44:1-26 :We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in times of old. How you did drive out the heathen with thy hand, and you planted them; and how you did afflict the people, and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because you had favor unto them. Thou art my King, O God: command... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 44:1-26

Psalms 44:1 . Our fathers have told us. All ancient patriarchs instructed their children, and all ancient nations instructed posterity by oral traditions, as in this psalm, by reciting how Joshua drove out the Canaanites. This was done also in their sacred odes, as many of the psalms testify. Our northern fathers often employed the early part of their long winter-nights in the amusing runes and histories of their ancestors. When a stranger called for hospitality, it was reckoned his duty to... read more

Psalms 44:1-26We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what work Thou didst. Aspects of national pietyThere is such a thing as national piety. I mean the aggregation of genuine godly thought, sympathy and aspiration, whether found in the breast of paupers or princes. Here we have it represented--I. As acknowledging God’s providential kindness to the nation in the past (Verses 1-8).1. The certain assurance of it. We have heard it as an historical fact--heard it from our own... read more
