Psalm 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.

Psalm 44:7 In-Context

5 By you we push down our enemies; by your name we tread down those who rise up against us.

6 For I do not trust my bow, and my sword cannot give me victory.

7 Rather you have saved us from our enemies, and have humiliated those who hate us.

8 In God we boast all the day, and we will give thanks [to] your name forever. Selah
