Salmos 44:1-8

1 Salmo 44
Para el director del coro: salmo
de los descendientes de Coré.
Oh Dios, lo oímos con nuestros propios oídos,
nuestros antepasados nos han contado
de todo lo que hiciste en su época,
hace mucho tiempo atrás:
2 Con tu poder expulsaste a las naciones paganas
y entregaste toda la tierra a nuestros antepasados.
Aplastaste a sus enemigos
y liberaste a nuestros antepasados.
3 No fue con sus espadas que conquistaron la tierra,
ni sus brazos fuertes les dieron la victoria.
Fueron tu mano derecha y tu brazo fuerte,
y la luz cegadora de tu rostro que los ayudó,
porque los amabas.
4 Tú eres mi Rey y mi Dios;
tú decretas las victorias de Israel.
5 Solo con tu poder hacemos retroceder a nuestros enemigos,
solo en tu nombre podemos pisotear a nuestros adversarios.
6 No confío en mi arco
ni dependo de que mi espada me salve.
7 Tú eres el que nos da la victoria sobre nuestros enemigos;
avergüenzas a los que nos odian.
8 Oh Dios, todo el día te damos gloria
y alabamos tu nombre constantemente.

Salmos 44:1-8 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. It is not certain who was the writer of this psalm, nor when it was written, and to what time it belongs: some have thought it was composed by one of the Babylonish captivity, and that it gives an account of the church and people of God in those times; but what is said in Psalm 44:17 does not seem to agree with Daniel 9:5. It is most likely it was written by David, and to him the Targum ascribes it; though it does not respect his times; since what is said in Psalm 44:9 cannot agree with them; yet he being a prophet might, under a prophetic influence, speak of future times, and represent the church in them. Some are of opinion that he prophetically speaks of the times of the Maccabees and of Antiochus, when the church and people of God suffered much for the true religion, and abode steadfast in it; so Theodoret: but rather the whole may be applied to the times of the New Testament, since Psalm 44:22 is cited by the Apostle Paul, Romans 8:36, and is applied to his times, and as descriptive of the suffering state and condition of the church then; and which seems to be the guide and key for the opening of the whole psalm.
