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 hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.

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

21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
