Psalm 44:24

24 Lève-toi! Pourquoi dors-tu, Seigneur? Réveille-toi, ne nous rejette pas à toujours!

Psalm 44:24 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:24

Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
&c.] See ( Psalms 10:1 ) ( 12:1 ) ;

[and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression.
Not that the Lord does really forget either the persons of his people, which he cannot, since they are engraven on the palms of his hands, and a book of remembrance is written for them: nor the afflictions of his people; he knows their souls in adversity; he chooses them in the furnace of affliction; he makes all afflictions work together for good, and delivers out of them. But because deliverance is not immediately wrought, and they sometimes continue long under their afflictions and oppressions, they seem to be forgotten by him, as during the ten persecutions and the long reign of antichrist.

Psalm 44:24 In-Context

22 Dieu n'en aurait-il pas fait enquête, lui qui connaît les secrets du cœur?

23 Mais, à cause de toi, nous sommes mis à mort tous les jours, et regardés comme des brebis destinées à la boucherie.

24 Lève-toi! Pourquoi dors-tu, Seigneur? Réveille-toi, ne nous rejette pas à toujours!

25 Pourquoi caches-tu ta face? Pourquoi oublies-tu notre misère et notre oppression?

26 Car notre âme est abattue jusque dans la poussière; notre ventre est attaché à la terre.
