Salmi 44:21

21 Iddio non ne farebbe egli inchiesta? Conciossiachè egli conosca i segreti del cuore.

Salmi 44:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:21

Shall not God search this out?
&c.] Undoubtedly he would, was it so, and expose it, and punish for it; as he will the Balaamites and children of Jezebel, ( Revelation 2:18-23 ) ; this seems to be an appeal to God for the truth of all that the church had said concerning her steadfastness and integrity under the most trying exercises;

for he knoweth the secrets of the heart;
whether the heart is turned back, or there is any inclination to apostatize from God, or his name is forgotten in it; as well as whether in fact the hand has been stretched out, or prayer made to a strange god, ( Jeremiah 17:9 Jeremiah 17:10 ) .

Salmi 44:21 In-Context

19 Quantunque tu ci abbi tritati, e messi in luogo di sciacalli; E ci abbi coperti d’ombra di morte.

20 Se noi avessimo dimenticato il Nome dell’Iddio nostro, Ed avessimo stese le mani ad alcun dio strano,

21 Iddio non ne farebbe egli inchiesta? Conciossiachè egli conosca i segreti del cuore.

22 Anzi, per cagion tua siamo uccisi tuttodì, Siam reputati come pecore da macello.

23 Risvegliati; perchè dormi, Signore? Destati, non iscacciarci in perpetuo.
