Salmos 44:9-19

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.
14 Nos has hecho el blanco de sus bromas;
menean la cabeza ante nosotros en señal de desprecio.
15 No podemos escapar de la constante humillación;
tenemos la vergüenza dibujada en el rostro.
16 Lo único que oímos son los insultos de los burlones;
lo único que vemos es a nuestros enemigos vengativos.
17 Todo esto ocurrió aunque nunca te hemos olvidado
ni desobedecimos tu pacto.
18 Nuestro corazón no te abandonó
ni nos hemos extraviado de tu camino.
19 Sin embargo, nos aplastaste en el desierto, donde vive el chacal;
nos cubriste de oscuridad y muerte.

Salmos 44:9-19 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. It is not certain who was the writer of this psalm, nor when it was written, and to what time it belongs: some have thought it was composed by one of the Babylonish captivity, and that it gives an account of the church and people of God in those times; but what is said in Psalm 44:17 does not seem to agree with Daniel 9:5. It is most likely it was written by David, and to him the Targum ascribes it; though it does not respect his times; since what is said in Psalm 44:9 cannot agree with them; yet he being a prophet might, under a prophetic influence, speak of future times, and represent the church in them. Some are of opinion that he prophetically speaks of the times of the Maccabees and of Antiochus, when the church and people of God suffered much for the true religion, and abode steadfast in it; so Theodoret: but rather the whole may be applied to the times of the New Testament, since Psalm 44:22 is cited by the Apostle Paul, Romans 8:36, and is applied to his times, and as descriptive of the suffering state and condition of the church then; and which seems to be the guide and key for the opening of the whole psalm.
