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
