Psalm 44:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:8

In God we boast all the day long
Or, as the Targum, "in the word of the Lord", in Christ, who is God over all, and who of God is made to his church and people wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption; so that there is always matter of glorying and boasting in him; and praise thy name for ever and ever;
in this world, as long as life continues; and in the other world to all eternity; both for the works of providence and of grace; for deliverances commanded, and for salvation from all enemies wrought out. Selah; of this word (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

8 In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.
