Context of Psalms 44:17

15All the day long is my dishonor before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me, 16For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth, By reason of the enemy and the avenger. All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way, 19That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

Commentaries on Psalms 44:17

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 17Yet have we not forgotten thee - These are bold words; but they must be understood in a qualified sense. We have not apostatized from thee, we have not fallen into idolatry. And this was strictly true: the charge of idolatry could never be brought against the Jewish nation from the time of the captivity, with sufficient evidence to support it.Read the comment

While our troubles do not drive us from our duty to God, we should not suffer them to drive us from our comfort in God. Let us take…Read the comment
