Context of Psalms 44:4
2How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and didst plant them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 3For they obtained 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 thou hadst a favour to them. Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 5Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name we will tread them under that rise up against us. 6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

We believe in thee as they did; we have sinned and are in captivity, but we repent and turn unto thee; command, therefore, deliverances to Jacob, for we are the descendants of him in whose behalf thou hast wrought such wonders.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Thou art my King, O God - literally, “Thou art He, my King, O God;” that is, Thou art the same: the same King, and the same God, who didst interpose in the time of the fathers, and thou art he whom I recognize as King, as the Sovereign Ruler of thy people.
