Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 44:1-26
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

The believer may promise to himself whatsoever God hath promised unto him; hath God promised to give His own people the victory over their enemies? then the believer may promise to himself he shall overcome his persecutors, and through God’s strength be more than a conqueror over them; “Through Thee will we push down our enemies.” If the enemy make... read more

Psa 44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. Ver. 6. For I will not trust in my bow ] To trust in men or means is the ready road to utter ruin. Idas, one of the Argonauts, is brought in by the poet, bragging that he trusted not in the gods, but in his own arm and arms. αιια ουδε η οφελλει αιιευς τοσον οδατιον περ εμον δορυ .

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
