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 heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from thy way,

19 that thou shouldst have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god,

21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

22 Nay, for thy sake we are slain all the day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
