Psalm 44:11

11 Nos descuartizaste como a ovejas,
y nos esparciste entre las naciones.

Psalm 44:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:11

Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat
To be butchered, and then eaten as sheep are; and therefore are called "the flock of slaughter", ( Zechariah 11:4 Zechariah 11:7 ) ; as the church was, not only under the ten persecutions of Rome Pagan, but through the butcheries and massacres of Rome Papal; who have worried many of Christ's sheep, have eaten their flesh and drank their blood, and have become drunken with it; it has been their meat and drink to persecute the saints of the most High; and hast scattered us among the Heathen:
the Pagan world, as the first Christians were, who were scattered up and down in the Gentile world everywhere; see ( 1 Peter 1:1 ) ; or the Papacy, who are sometimes called Gentiles, ( Revelation 11:2 ) ; because much of the Gentile idolatry is introduced into the Popish religion; and among these many of the true members of Christ and of his church have been carried captive and scattered; and such will be found there a little before the destruction of Babylon, and will be called out from thence; see ( Revelation 13:10 ) ( 18:4 ) .

Psalm 44:11 In-Context

9 Pero ahora nos hiciste a un lado en deshonra;
ya no estás al frente de nuestros ejércitos en batalla.

10 Nos haces huir en retirada de nuestros enemigos
y dejas que los que nos odian saqueen nuestra tierra.

11 Nos descuartizaste como a ovejas,
y nos esparciste entre las naciones.

12 Vendiste a tu precioso pueblo por una miseria
y no ganaste nada con la venta.

13 Permites que nuestros vecinos se burlen de nosotros;
somos objeto de desprecio y desdén de quienes nos rodean.
