Psalms, Chapter 44
The church commemorates past mercies, ver. 1 - 8. Complains of present troubles, ver. 9 - 16. Professes her integrity, ver. 17 - 22. Prays for succour, ver. 23 - 26. To the chief musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.

4: My king - The whole people speak as one man, being united in one body.

11: Scattered - Those who were not slain are carried into captivity, and dispersed in several places.

16: Avenger - Who executeth both God's and his own vengeance upon me.

17: Yet - Although we cannot excuse ourselves from many other sins, yet through thy grace we have kept ourselves from apostacy and idolatry, notwithstanding all examples and provocations.

18: Turned - From thy worship to idols.

19: Broken us - By inflicting upon us one breach after another, thou hast at last brought us to this pass. The place - A place extremely desolate, such as dragons love, (Isa 13:21,22), and therefore full of horror, and danger. Covered us - With deadly horrors and miseries.

22: Yea - Because we are constant in thy worship, which they abhor.

25: Our soul - Our persons. Our belly - We are not only thrown down to the earth, but we lie there like dead carcases.
