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 were never false, our feet never left your path.
19 Do we deserve torture in a den of jackals? or lockup in a black hole?
20 If we had forgotten to pray to our God or made fools of ourselves with store-bought gods,
21 Wouldn't God have figured this out? We can't hide things from him.
22 No, you decided to make us martyrs, lambs assigned for sacrifice each day.
