Salmi 44:24

24 Perché nascondi la tua faccia e dimentichi la nostra afflizione e la nostra oppressione?

Salmi 44:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:24

Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
&c.] See ( Psalms 10:1 ) ( 12:1 ) ;

[and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression.
Not that the Lord does really forget either the persons of his people, which he cannot, since they are engraven on the palms of his hands, and a book of remembrance is written for them: nor the afflictions of his people; he knows their souls in adversity; he chooses them in the furnace of affliction; he makes all afflictions work together for good, and delivers out of them. But because deliverance is not immediately wrought, and they sometimes continue long under their afflictions and oppressions, they seem to be forgotten by him, as during the ten persecutions and the long reign of antichrist.

Salmi 44:24 In-Context

22 Anzi è per cagion tua che siamo ogni dì messi a morte, e reputati come pecore da macello.

23 Risvegliati! Perché dormi, o Signore? Destati, non rigettarci in perpetuo!

24 Perché nascondi la tua faccia e dimentichi la nostra afflizione e la nostra oppressione?

25 Poiché l’anima nostra è abbattuta nella polvere; il nostro corpo aderisce alla terra.

26 Lèvati in nostro aiuto, e liberaci, per amor della tua benignità.
