Psaume 44:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:10

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy
In the times of Eli, according to Arama; but may he understood of some of the visible members of the church, and professors of religion, not being valiant for the truth, and deserting the cause of God and Christ, by reason of tribulation and persecution arising because of the word; and they which hate us spoil for themselves;
by seizing on the goods and substance of those they persecuted; enriching themselves by confiscating their estates and possessions to their own use; or by spoiling others of them, they deceived with their corrupt doctrines and soul destroying principles, whereby they became slaves to the antichristian party; this may respect the same wars as before.

Psaume 44:10 In-Context

8 Nous nous glorifions en Dieu chaque jour, Et nous célébrerons à jamais ton nom. -Pause.

9 Cependant tu nous repousses, tu nous couvres de honte, Tu ne sors plus avec nos armées;

10 Tu nous fais reculer devant l'ennemi, Et ceux qui nous haïssent enlèvent nos dépouilles.

11 Tu nous livres comme des brebis à dévorer, Tu nous disperses parmi les nations.

12 Tu vends ton peuple pour rien, Tu ne l'estimes pas à une grande valeur.
