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

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

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

8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to thy name for ever. [Selah]

9 Yet thou hast cast us off and abased us, and hast not gone out with our armies.
