Psalms 44:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:7

But thou hast saved us from our enemies
Spiritual ones, and not we ourselves; and therefore will not trust in ourselves, nor in anything of ours, but in the Lord, and give him the glory of salvation; and hast put them to shame that hated us;
the men of the world, the seed of the serpent, and the serpent himself, when his works were destroyed, and his principalities and powers spoiled by Christ upon the cross; hence the following boasting of the Lord, and glorying in him.

Psalms 44:7 In-Context

5 Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down our assailants.

6 For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.

7 But you have saved us from our foes, and have put to confusion those who hate us.

8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)

9 Yet you have rejected us and abased us, and have not gone out with our armies.
