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 Com os nossos próprios ouvidos ouvimos, ó Deus;os nossos antepassados nos contaramos feitos que realizaste no tempo deles,nos dias da antiguidade.

2 Com a tua própria mão expulsaste as naçõespara estabelecer os nossos antepassados;arruinaste povos e fizeste prosperaros nossos antepassados.

3 Não foi pela espada que conquistaram a terranem pela força do seu braçoque alcançaram a vitória;foi pela tua mão direita, pelo teu braçoe pela luz do teu rosto,por causa do teu amor para com eles.

4 És tu, meu Rei e meu Deus!És tu que decretas vitórias para Jacó!

5 Contigo pomos em fuga os nossos adversários;pelo teu nome pisoteamos os que nos atacam.
