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 We have not been disloyal to you; we have not disobeyed your commands.

19 Yet you left us helpless among wild animals; you abandoned us in deepest darkness.

20 If we had stopped worshiping our God and prayed to a foreign god,

21 you would surely have discovered it, because you know our secret thoughts.

22 But it is on your account that we are being killed all the time, that we are treated like sheep to be slaughtered.
