Psalms 44:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:10

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy
In the times of Eli, according to Arama; but may he understood of some of the visible members of the church, and professors of religion, not being valiant for the truth, and deserting the cause of God and Christ, by reason of tribulation and persecution arising because of the word; and they which hate us spoil for themselves;
by seizing on the goods and substance of those they persecuted; enriching themselves by confiscating their estates and possessions to their own use; or by spoiling others of them, they deceived with their corrupt doctrines and soul destroying principles, whereby they became slaves to the antichristian party; this may respect the same wars as before.

Psalms 44:10 In-Context

8 Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

9 But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.

10 Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

11 You have made us like sheep which are taken for meat; we are put to flight among the nations.

12 You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.
