Psalms 44:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:16

For the voice, of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth
That is, antichrist, to whom a mouth speaking blasphemies has been given, and which he has opened in blasphemy against God, attributing that to himself which belongs to God; blaspheming his name, his tabernacle, and them that well in heaven; see ( Revelation 13:5 Revelation 13:6 ) ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ) ; by reason of the enemy and avenger;
which are very proper characters of antichrist, who is the enemy of Christ and of his people, and breathes out vengeance against them; as the same titles are also given to the Scribes and Pharisees, the implacable enemies of Christ, ( Psalms 8:2 ) .

Psalms 44:16 In-Context

14 The nations make jokes about us. They shake their heads at us.
15 All day long I am reminded of my shame. My face is covered with it
16 because of those who laugh at me and attack me with their words. They want to get even with me.
17 All of this happened to us, even though we had not forgotten you. We had been true to the covenant you made with us.
18 Our hearts had not turned away from you. Our feet had not wandered from your path.
