Salmos 44:21

21 ¿No demandaría Dios esto? Porque él conoce los secretos del corazón.

Salmos 44:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:21

Shall not God search this out?
&c.] Undoubtedly he would, was it so, and expose it, and punish for it; as he will the Balaamites and children of Jezebel, ( Revelation 2:18-23 ) ; this seems to be an appeal to God for the truth of all that the church had said concerning her steadfastness and integrity under the most trying exercises;

for he knoweth the secrets of the heart;
whether the heart is turned back, or there is any inclination to apostatize from God, or his name is forgotten in it; as well as whether in fact the hand has been stretched out, or prayer made to a strange god, ( Jeremiah 17:9 Jeremiah 17:10 ) .

Salmos 44:21 In-Context

19 Cuando nos quebrantaste en el lugar de los dragones, Y nos cubriste con sombra de muerte,
20 Si nos hubiésemos olvidado del nombre de nuestro Dios, O alzado nuestras manos á dios ajeno,
21 ¿No demandaría Dios esto? Porque él conoce los secretos del corazón.
22 Empero por tu causa nos matan cada día; Somos tenidos como ovejas para el matadero.
23 Despierta; ¿por qué duermes, Señor? Despierta, no te alejes para siempre.
