Context of Psalms 44:9
7It is you who rescues us from our enemies. You bring shame on the people that hate us. 8Every day, we praise you, God. We will always thank you, all the time, because you are great! Selah. But now you have turned against us. You have made us ashamed. When our armies go out to fight a battle, you no longer go with us. 10You make us run away from our enemies. The people who hate us take from us whatever they like! 11You have put us under their power, so that they kill us like sheep for them to eat. You have sent us away to live in foreign countries.

Commentaries on Psalms 44:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9But thou hast cast off - Our enemies have dominion over us. And goest not forth with our armies - Were we to attempt to muster our several tribes, and form a host, like our fathers when they came out of Egypt, thou wouldst not accompany us as thou didst them: the horses and chariots of the Babylonians would soon overtake and destroy us.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9But thou hast cast off - The author of the psalm now commences a description of the existing circumstances of the nation, so strongly in contrast with what had existed in former times when God interposed in their behalf, and when he gave them success.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. But--contrasting, cast off as abhorrent (Psa 43:2). goest not forth--literally, "will not go" (2Sa 5:23). In several consecutive verses the leading verb is future, and the following one past (in Hebrew), thus denoting the causes and effects.
