Psalms 44:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 44:20

If we have forgotten the name of our God
As antichrist, and the antichristian party did in those times, ( Daniel 11:36 Daniel 11:37 ) ;

or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
as not to any of the Heathen deities under the Pagan persecutions, so not to any images of gold, silver, brass, and wood, under the Papal tyranny; not to the Virgin Mary, nor to angels and saints departed; nor to the breaden God in the mass, never heard of before; see ( Daniel 11:38 Daniel 11:39 ) ( Revelation 9:21 ) .

Psalms 44:20 In-Context

18 (43-19) And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

19 (43-20) For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.

20 (43-21) If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

21 (43-22) Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

22 (43-22) Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
