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 turned back, and our steps did not turn away from your path,

19 though you pressed us into a lair of jackals and covered us with death-dark gloom.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21 wouldn't God have discovered this, since he knows the secrets of the heart?

22 For your sake we are put to death all day long, we are considered sheep to be slaughtered.
