Psalms 44 Footnotes

Ps 44 This is a national lament over the problem of suffering. The writer, speaking on behalf of the nation, recorded how the Lord abandoned them in a war for no reason—they had not broken faith with him. Paul quoted from this psalm (v. 22) in Rm 8:36 to affirm, as the psalm does, that such suffering does not separate us from the love of God.
