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

In several consecutive verses the leading verb is future, and the following one past (in Hebrew), thus denoting the causes and effects.
