Psalm 44:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:1

We have heard with our ears, O God
The church being in distress calls to mind the past favours of God to his people, in order to encourage her faith and hope; and this expression, delivered in such a form, shows the clearness, evidence, and certainty of what was heard; and which was heard not only as a tradition from father to son; but being recorded in the writings of Moses and the prophets, and these things read both in private and in public, were heard with the ear;

our fathers have told us [what] works thou didst in their days, in the
times of old:
such as the signs and wonders in Egypt, the slaying of the firstborn there, and the bringing of the people of Israel from thence with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; which fathers were used to tell in the ears of their sons, and sons' sons; and of which there were memorials continued in future ages, which led children to ask their parents the meaning of them; when they informed them of the wondrous works of Providence done in former times, and by which means they were handed down from age to age: see ( Exodus 10:2 ) ( 12:26 ) ( 13:8 ) .

Psalm 44:1 In-Context

1 Dem VorsĂ€nger. Von den Söhnen Korahs, ein Maskil. Gott, mit unseren Ohren haben wir gehört, unsere VĂ€ter haben uns erzĂ€hlt die Großtat, die du gewirkt hast in ihren Tagen, in den Tagen vor alters.
2 Du, mit deiner Hand hast du Nationen ausgetrieben, und sie hast du gepflanzt, Völkerschaften hast du verderbt, und sie hast du ausgebreitet.
3 Denn nicht durch ihr Schwert haben sie das Land in Besitz genommen, und nicht ihr Arm hat sie gerettet; sondern deine Rechte und dein Arm und das Licht deines Angesichts, weil du Wohlgefallen an ihnen hattest.
4 Du selbst bist mein König, o Gott; gebiete die Rettungen Jakobs!
5 Durch dich werden wir niederstoßen unsere BedrĂ€nger; durch deinen Namen werden wir zertreten, die wider uns aufstehen.
