Psalms 44:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:20

If we have forgotten the name of our God
As antichrist, and the antichristian party did in those times, ( Daniel 11:36 Daniel 11:37 ) ;

or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
as not to any of the Heathen deities under the Pagan persecutions, so not to any images of gold, silver, brass, and wood, under the Papal tyranny; not to the Virgin Mary, nor to angels and saints departed; nor to the breaden God in the mass, never heard of before; see ( Daniel 11:38 Daniel 11:39 ) ( Revelation 9:21 ) .

Psalms 44:20 In-Context

18 Our hearts have not gone back, and our steps have not been turned out of your way;

19 Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.

20 If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

21 Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.

22 Truly, because of you we are put to death every day; we are numbered like sheep for destruction.
