Psalm 44:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:1

We have heard with our ears, O God
The church being in distress calls to mind the past favours of God to his people, in order to encourage her faith and hope; and this expression, delivered in such a form, shows the clearness, evidence, and certainty of what was heard; and which was heard not only as a tradition from father to son; but being recorded in the writings of Moses and the prophets, and these things read both in private and in public, were heard with the ear;

our fathers have told us [what] works thou didst in their days, in the
times of old:
such as the signs and wonders in Egypt, the slaying of the firstborn there, and the bringing of the people of Israel from thence with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; which fathers were used to tell in the ears of their sons, and sons' sons; and of which there were memorials continued in future ages, which led children to ask their parents the meaning of them; when they informed them of the wondrous works of Providence done in former times, and by which means they were handed down from age to age: see ( Exodus 10:2 ) ( 12:26 ) ( 13:8 ) .

Psalm 44:1 In-Context

1 Oh Dios, nuestros oídos han oídoy nuestros padres nos han contadolas proezas que realizaste en sus días,en aquellos tiempos pasados:

2 Con tu mano echaste fuera a las nacionesy en su lugar estableciste a nuestros padres;aplastaste a aquellos pueblos,y a nuestros padres los hiciste prosperar.

3 Porque no fue su espada la que conquistó la tierra,ni fue su brazo el que les dio la victoria:fue tu brazo, tu mano derecha;fue la luz de tu rostro, porque tú los amabas.

4 Solo tú eres mi rey y mi Dios.¡Decreta las victorias de Jacob!

5 Por ti derrotamos a nuestros enemigos;en tu nombre aplastamos a nuestros agresores.
